Pakistan Federation President Visits AFED Office and Housing Projects – Dar-es-Salaam

The President of Pakistan Federation, Alhaj Abul Hassan Gokal, had the privilege of visiting the AFED Offices at AFED Tower and Housing Projects in Dar es Salaam on 3^rd February 2026, in the company of the Housing Board Chairman Akil Hirji, Vice Chairperson Shakira Dhanani, and Project Coordinator Mohamed Moledina. 

The visit to the ongoing Madina Housing Project was insightful and affirming, and Abul Hassan bhai was impressed with the evident commitment to quality at every stage of the project.

The Project which incorporates essential communal facilities, including four levels of parking, a community hall for events, a multipurpose room, and a gym recognizes housing not merely as shelter, but as a foundation for dignity, wellbeing, and community life. 

A visit was made to Amira Apartments in Dar es Salaam, a project that stands as a compelling model of community housing which has been occupied by community members for approximately five years.

The rent-to-ownership model adopted for both and other Housing Projects of AFED provides members with an affordable and practical pathway toward asset ownership. 

Abul Hassan bhai then visited the AFED Tower which houses the offices of the Africa Federation and had the opportunity to meet up with the AFED Vice Chairman Alhaj Murtaza Somji, AFED Hon. Secretary Br. Alihassan Kassam, AFED Nominated Councillor Alhaj Aunali Khalfan and AFED COO, Br. Mohamedkazim Sheriff who were present at the office and to tour the building.

The Housing Board records its appreciation to Abul Hassan bhai for taking time to visit its projects and prays that in the near future, all Community members will be able to benefit from self-owned housing solutions.
