Government offices & 30 home staff housing complex
We were challenged by the health authority to construct 115 clinics and mini-clinics in all 10 Zambian provinces. By effectively deploying skilled teams willing to work in some of the most remote and logistically-challenging areas - together with creative supply-chain management - we met every objective set to the client's full satisfaction.

Mapico faced hilly topography, often-impassable roads and supply-chain logistical pressures in constructing 4000 low-cost houses in Empangeni, Kwangbanami, Dezo & Toro ‘y Afrika for the Provincial Governments of Kwazulu-Natal and the then-named Orange Free State.
Tree Of Life Orphanage
RDP Housing For KZN & OFS Provincial Government in SA
Broncoprop Warehouse Complex
Healing, restoration, and a fresh start: some children need this deeper level of care. For this reason, Mapico was contracted to create the Tree of Life Children’s Village – a transitional full-time care living facility for children who have faced extreme circumstances. Children admitted into the Tree of Life may suffer from significant medical conditions and their guardians are unable to provide necessary care or their home situation is unsuitable for the child to live. Spanning over 130-acres, the Tree of Life has a neighborhood of homes, a school, the Hill Wellness Center, playgrounds, a working farm and so much more
