Led by visionary CEO Haruna Nduwayo, Ndumuha Holdings positions itself as a beacon of innovation and sustainability in steel and container construction in Burundi, with extraordinary architectural and interior design. Founded in 2015 in Pretoria, South Africa, as Haruna Holdings Pty (Ltd), the company initially focused on interior design consultation. Driven by a deep-rooted desire to contribute to the development of his homeland, Haruna expanded the business to Burundi, establishing Ndumuha Holdings in 2024. The company, whose headquarters are in Bujumbura Town, Nyabugete I district, specializes in architectural designs using steel and wood, with a notable focus on shipping container homes.
Ndumuha Holdings is committed to setting high standards in architectural construction and interior design, aiming for acceptance not only in Burundi but across the East African Community and beyond. Haruna Nduwayo envisions the company making a significant impact on the tourism and hospitality industry with uniquely built steel and wood homes, ultimately contributing to the growth of the Burundian economy. “Our vision is to establish a high-standard architectural construction and interior design company whose services and brand will not only be accepted in Bujumbura, Burundi but also all through the East African Community and other parts of the world,” says Haruna Nduwayo.
Experience, Innovation, and Capacity
Ndumuha Holdings has undertaken numerous innovative architectural steel projects across Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and now Burundi. Despite the complexities of these projects, the company has successfully navigated them without significant challenges, thanks to their expertise and dedication. “The competitive pricing and durability of our products make Ndumuha Holdings an attractive option for both Burundian and larger enterprises,” notes Haruna Nduwayo.

Ndumuha Holdings stays abreast of market trends, particularly the growing emphasis on sustainability and eco-consciousness. By incorporating innovative design solutions and sustainable practices, the company ensures its projects are not only up-to-date but also environmentally responsible.
As shipping container homes are gaining popularity due to their sustainability and cost-effectiveness, Ndumuha Holdings ensures these homes are both sustainable and comfortable by using high-quality materials. These homes are particularly beneficial for Burundians affected by the extreme rise of Lake Tanganyika, offering a practical and economical housing solution. Their unique feature is their mobility, allowing them to be moved easily without the extensive material requirements of traditional houses. “We are committed to providing practical and economical housing solutions for Burundians affected by environmental challenges,” says Haruna Nduwayo.
Ndumuha Holdings excels in balancing aesthetic appeal with functionality in interior design. Their approach involves understanding client needs, planning functional spaces, selecting appropriate furniture, designing effective lighting, and incorporating technology and sustainable practices. This comprehensive method ensures that the spaces they create are not only visually appealing but also practical and tailored to clients’ specific requirements.
Sustainability and Client Satisfaction
The process of manufacturing steel and wood furniture at Ndumuha Holdings is meticulous, ensuring high quality and durability. It begins with the careful selection of materials based on strength and aesthetic appeal. The process involves precise cutting, shaping, and joining of steel and wood using specialized tools and techniques. Rigorous quality control measures are implemented throughout to ensure each piece meets the required standards for safety and functionality.
Sustainability is a cornerstone of Ndumuha Holdings’ operations. The company integrates sustainable design principles, such as maximizing natural light and ventilation, and prioritizes the use of recycled content and low-carbon materials. Their commitment extends to responsible material sourcing and participation in community activities aimed at reducing pollution and promoting cleanliness in Bujumbura.
Effective communication and collaboration with clients are key to ensuring their vision is realized. Ndumuha Holdings engages clients at every stage, from initial design concepts to final inspection, ensuring their satisfaction with the finished product. This collaborative approach has fostered trust and led to successful partnerships, with plans to expand their reach within Burundi and beyond. “Building trust initially was a hurdle, but our commitment to quality has earned us the trust and confidence of our clients,” reflects Haruna Nduwayo.
Looking ahead, Ndumuha Holdings has exciting plans to introduce new products and services. Ndumuha Holdings stands as a beacon of innovation, quality, and sustainability in the architectural and interior design industry. With a clear vision and unwavering dedication, Haruna Nduwayo and his team are set to make a lasting impact in Burundi and beyond.
