Residents of Taita Taveta are joining the Diaspora University Town (DUT) project as townhouse developers to become founders a level 5/6 University Medical Hospital. The hospital will have over 2,000 jobs and 30 medical services. Ronald Mwangombe of Ndara B Community talking about the hospital said, “One of the reasons Ndara B Community became a founder of the Diaspora University is to achieve the hospital.”

The hospital is one of the projects within the DUT plan. The hospital's revenue plan is embedded in the DUT's Ksh 15 billion Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Kenya's GDP. The goal is to establish a non-profit level 5/6 hospital with about 50,000 square meters of medical space and a yearly budget of Ksh 4 billion as the town grows to 25,000 residents and the university to 5,000 students.

ILLUSTRATION

Note that the bank's interest rate and loan period will determine the actual amount.

STEP 2. DUT-THIDA

Sign a DUT Townhouse Investment and Development Agreement (THIDA) and put the Ksh 750,000 in the Diaspora University Trust account.

At this point, a DUT townhouse developer file will be open and will start developing one townhouse.

STEP 3. PAY INSTALLMENTS AS THE DUT DEVELOPS THE TOWNHOUSE

Pay the monthly installments to your bank.

DUT, on the other hand, will develop the townhouse in accordance with THIDA Article 4.

In about 12–48 months, the DUT Design-Build plan will complete the townhouse.

STEP 4. COMPLETED HOUSE MORTGAGE

Upon completion of the house, get a KMRC mortgage through your bank.

The mortgage at this point can include the Principal Balance of the unsecured loan (Step 1), and the House Development Cost (THIDA Article 4).

The table in step 1 illustrates how the principal balance is incorporated into a mortgage.

STEP 5. COMPLETED HOUSE USAGE

The owner can occupy their house and live in a well-planned town with a clean and healthy environment, a University, a level 5/6 university hospital, good basic education schools for children, and other amenities.

If the owner does not live in the house, the owner can lease the house to DUT in accordance with THIDA Article 12 and receive Ksh 65,000 a month.

STEP 6. COMPLETED HOUSE EQUITY

Upon completion, each house will have equity calculated as Sale Price less the mortgage value. The sale prices are recorded in the DUT THD page https://dut.or.ke/thd

  1. Year 1 Sale Price. Ksh 8 million
  2. Year 2 Sale Price Ksh 8.5 million
  3. Year 3 Sale Price Ksh 9 million
  4. Year 4 Sale Price Ksh 9.5 million
  5. Year 5 onward Market Price.

GDP GROWTH APPROACH

DUT uses the GDP Growth approach, which has grown the U.S. economy from $57 billion to the current $30 trillion. DUT will achieve a GDP of Ksh 20 billion.
