Have you ever imagined relocating to another community with your house and all your belongings intact?
How about staying in a hotel or a beach resort that can move to another location?
Let’s go to Ghana, where a group of young men make this possible.
Housing is among the necessities for human survival but has become increasingly elusive.
The 2021 population and housing census projected Ghana’s housing deficit above 1.8 million.
Additionally, the increasing cost of a parcel of land has denied low-income earners the opportunity to own a house.
The idea of transportable houses started with a dream of making the affordable housing situation in Ghana more practical.
A German-based Ghanaian citizen, Emmanuel Brown, came up with the innovation to make home ownership affordable after accessing tuition about the project on google.
The innovation now serves as a hotel at the Laboma beach in Accra.
Brown believes that a mobile house is a revolution that Ghana must embrace.
He believes the country can reap much from his innovation when used as tourism infrastructure.
The group says it wants to introduce something new to the Ghanaian tourist industry and provides jobs to the unemployed youth through eco-friendly, affordable, and modular homes.
