Core offering

Home Leone Limited is a UK-registered charity that funds and operates the Destiny Village relocation project in Newton, Sierra Leone, building affordable homes (£4,500–£8,500 per home) using on-site Hydraform compressed soil bricks to move families out of Freetown's 72 slums into safe housing with schools, healthcare, clean water, solar power, and livelihood programs. The organization raises funds through individual donations, corporate CSR volunteer trips, church and school partnerships, and Gift Aid, while running six social enterprises (brick factory, bakery, garage, water bagging, fabrication workshops, market) and a women's micro-loans program to support sustainability.

Product overview
