There are 1.29 Billion people in Africa, according to a recent UNICEF report Africa’s population will explode by 2050, 1 out every 4 humans will be African. This poses a tremendous problem on an already strained, real estate eco-system. In fact, as of 2017 - 250,000 people in Kenya, 24.4 Million people in Nigeria, 7.5 Million people in South Africa, 252,000 people in Namibia, all lack access to decent and affordable housing.
In fact, rapid urbanization, its acuity in African economies will be more pronounced if actions are not taken to remedy the issue. Over the coming years, millions of Africans will need shelter – a roof over their heads. This huge population boom is the strongest underlying reason for the huge demand for accommodation and real estate properties across Africa.

African markets will need to improve the fundamentals of their housing sectors. While the specific features of local real estate markets and regulatory regimes vary significantly across the continent, from Nigeria to Egypt to South Africa, chronic housing deficits, a lack of funding and an affordability gap are common throughout the regions.
HouseAfrica is sloving these problems in two ways,
1. Build affordable housing using Shipping Containers giving access to young people who otherwise can not afford housing
2. Developed a decentralized real estate platform that provides international and local investors access to the African property market..
