The team from Applegate Home Buyers traveled to Uganda in support of Musana breaking cycles of dependency and poverty by investing in and operating locally-owned businesses, schools and hospitals.

Applegate Home Buyers, a real estate investment company based in Phoenix, AZ. Has broadened its mission of solving real estate problems in Arizona by partnering with Musana, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building self-sustaining communities in Africa. The initiative involved both hands-on participation from the Applegate Home Buyers team as well as ongoing financial contributions to support Musana’s innovative approach to community development.

The collaboration saw Applegate Home Buyers’ team travel to rural areas of Africa where Musana is constructing housing for the most needy families as well as expanding their model of Self-Sustaining Communities that are free from foreign dependency and full of dignity. This groundbreaking effort ensures that the benefits of these projects are long-lasting, eliminating their dependency on foreign donations and fostering self-reliant communities.

“Our work with Musana has been both humbling and inspiring,” said Byron Applegate, President and CEO at Applegate Home Buyers. “We are honored to be a part of their mission! Musana aligns so closely with our values, not just building Schools and houses, but building self sustaining communities that offer education, health and dignity for the people who live there for generations to come.”

A Long-Term Vision for Sustainable Impact

Musana’s model goes beyond immediate relief. By creating profitable enterprises such as hotels where other foreigners who are visiting with various organizations can have suitable housing during their stay in Africa. They also provide quality restaurants and state of the art healthcareat for-profit hospitals.

This generates the money used to sustain what has become the top rated schools in the entire country. 75% of the graduates go on to college. In addition to this amazing statistic, the average Musana graduate earns 700% more than other local citizens because of the trade skills they are taught and certified in while attending school in the program. Over half of the 3500 students enrolled in Musana schools pay to attend the schools. These ventures combined generate profit that funds essential humanitarian services like housing, food, education scholarships and medical care for the most needy. This approach not only addresses immediate needs but also sets up villages for long-term success. In five years or less, communities are stabilized with schools, hospitals, and infrastructure before Musana moves on to replicate the model in another underserved area.

The Applegate Home Buyers team joined Musana 4 years ago to help those in need. Spending a month in Africa allows their team to see how their contributions are ensuring these children have access to the best education, medical services and opportunities to be self-sufficient themselves after graduation. These efforts were complemented by a financial donation, reinforcing Musana’s self-sustaining initiatives. Applegate Home Buyers intends to continue supporting Musana and will be making additional trips to Africa to support them for years to come.

A Broader Movement of Change

Applegate’s efforts come amid growing global attention to Africa’s developmental challenges and opportunities. Notable figures, such as YouTuber MrBeast, have recently contributed to projects like constructing water wells to provide clean drinking water to underserved communities. While separate initiatives, both reflect a broader movement toward sustainable and impactful solutions.

Community-Centered Housing Solutions

The work in Africa echoes Applegate Home Buyers’ core mission: helping families find solutions to their housing needs. While the company is known for its role in the U.S. housing market, its involvement with Musana highlights a commitment to creating housing solutions that extend beyond traditional borders.

“Whether we’re helping homeowners locally or supporting sustainable development globally, our goal remains the same — providing real solutions that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives,” said Ryker Applegate.
