Komrades dream team unveils stunning mansions at Migaa Golf Estate, Kiambu
With grandeur and celebration, Komrades Dream Team, a women-led investment group, marked a significant milestone with the unveiling of 17 luxurious mansions at the renowned Migaa Golf Estate in Kiambu. The event, held to celebrate the official opening of “Komrade’s Valley Homes” Phase I, brought together members, family, and friends to witness the culmination of a bold dream powered by women’s collective strength.
The remarkable development, financed through a Chama Loan facility under Pamoja Banking by Equity Bank’s Ridgeways Branch, is a testament to the power of collaboration. Komrades, which began with 13 women, has expanded into a dynamic investment collective with hundreds of shareholders, including men, all united by the vision of property ownership and economic empowerment.
Komrades CEO Elizabeth Mugo expressed deep gratitude towards Equity Bank, crediting the bank’s unwavering support for making their dream of providing high-quality, accessible housing a reality. “Equity believed in us, and today we proudly hand over these homes, which not only symbolize the empowerment of women but also provide families with secure, comfortable living spaces,” said Mugo.
The luxurious homes, set against the backdrop of an 18-hole golf course and the rolling landscape of the Migaa Golf Estate, offer a serene and picturesque environment, perfect for those seeking tranquility just a short distance from Kiambu town. Designed with minimalist architecture and vibrant aesthetics, the all-ensuite villas are furnished to the highest standards, featuring spacious living areas, modern kitchens, and premium bathrooms that rival five-star luxury.
Homeowners such as Cecilia Ngaruiya and Irene Mwangi spoke with pride about the elegance and sophistication of their new homes. “The interiors are stunning, with luxurious finishes and meticulous decor,” said Ngaruiya. Mwangi added, “The kitchens are modern, the bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat, and the bathrooms are sleek and modern. It’s an absolute dream home.”
Leah Mbugua, representing the residents of Migaa Golf Estate, highlighted the focus on sustainability in the home designs. The estate boasts eco-friendly systems for water and electricity, ensuring both convenience and environmental consciousness.
Peter Muturi, Equity Bank’s Head of Commercial Marketing, emphasized the bank’s ongoing commitment to uplifting communities. “This project is about more than just homes – it’s about creating opportunities for growth and empowerment,” Muturi said, during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “We will continue supporting groups like Komrades to ensure more people can experience the pride of homeownership.”
Equity Bank Ridgeways Branch BGDM Jane Waweru also applauded Komrades for their successful project, noting the importance of financial inclusion. She encouraged other self-help groups to embrace the benefits of savings culture and access to chama loans, which offer flexible security requirements, business advisory services, and financial literacy training.
Elizabeth Mugo further shared that Komrades is not just about real estate. The group has expanded its impact through partnerships with Equity Bank in other sectors, including a women-centered savings and investment SACCO, insurance brokerage, and medical services for the elderly.
“Empowering women leads to transformation at both the individual and community levels,” Mugo concluded, underscoring the significance of the initiative not only in providing homes but also in uplifting families and communities as a whole.
Komrades Dream Team’s launch of “Komrade’s Valley Homes” stands as a shining example of how collective effort, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to empowerment can create lasting change, one home at a time.
