Neftaly: Backyard Partnerships and Informal Settlements

Unlocking the Potential of Backyard Spaces for Better Living

Informal settlements face complex challenges like overcrowding, limited infrastructure, and lack of affordable housing. Neftaly’s Backyard Partnerships initiative offers a community-driven solution by transforming underutilized backyard spaces into safe, productive, and sustainable environments.

What Are Backyard Partnerships?

Backyard Partnerships are collaborative efforts between Neftaly and local residents to:

• Create affordable housing units in backyards to ease overcrowding and provide additional income to homeowners.
• Improve waste management by setting up backyard sorting and composting systems.
• Promote urban agriculture to enhance food security and green spaces.
• Install small-scale infrastructure like sanitation and water facilities to improve health outcomes.

Why It Matters

• Empowers residents to improve their living conditions.
• Utilizes existing land efficiently without costly new developments.
• Boosts household income through rentals and sustainable practices.
• Builds healthier, safer, and greener communities.

Impact So Far

• Hundreds of backyard units created or improved.
• Thousands of residents trained and engaged.
• Significant improvements in waste management and local food production.
