- The Government of Rwanda targets to increase the urbanization rate from about 18 per cent to 35 per cent by 2024 to support economic growth. The housing needs and demands will grow dramatically in the coming years. In this episode, we look at affordable housing and how modern technology can help to scale affordable houses in Rwanda.
I miss the old days when you needed a house built, all you had to do was brew a few pots of sorghum beer. You called in the male members of the village. Poles were hurriedly gathered from the forest, mud was missed up, grass cut and carried to site and voila! A house was built in a day with great cheer.That was the Africa our children will never know😭
Those were the days, nowadays it's God for us all,what a shame on Africa
And wait to be colonized again? Don’t be naive! Africa needs to rapidly industrialize before the scarce supply of resources in the distant future becomes a reason for yet another colonization of Africa. Africa has to be self sufficient in the next 100 years
@@konnen4518 You have a right to your opinion but it doesn't make you right.Africa always had efficient indigenous systems long before colonization, even a good banking system.
@@konnen4518 only a fool looks down on the ways of their ancestors. In South Africa, its common to see a rondavel(hut), next to a grand mansion.There is genuine respect for the ancestors. A modern house is great until you suffer from depression because you can’t keep up with the bills that come with it . Check out how many people are living in tent cities across the USA. I was in Auckland recently and was shocked to see how the homeless live under flyovers.I live in a modern mansion but miss A LOT my life growing up in a village hut. I was happier than I am now.
if you want to do that Go to the village
Rwanda looks like it’s following the right tracks of some countries who rose from nothing like korea and singapore
Yes they are affordable which is a good thing, but where is the beautiful expression in them that make the developing youth proud to live there. Affordable houses don't have to look ugly and resented. A point to think about. I come from an architectural background and i know that one could still build something beautiful yet affordable at the same time. It's all about design creativity. Give the youth something that would empower them and give them a sense of pride, creativity and a forward-thinking mindset. Beauty doesn't equate to expensive. All you have to do is add simplicity to good desgn. Get in touch with me please as i have way better ideas. I am thinking of organic 3D printed fully functional houses that take a maximum of 10 days per house to build. I can also work with researchers to ensure that these houses' facades are resillient to the external climate of Rwanda. These houses are also cheap to build and are beautiful and look apart to the organic green Rwandan environment. It's time to start implementing 3D printing technology in affordable houses.
Thank God they are doing a good job .it's much better than many other rich African countries. They have a vission.God bless those that help them self and this country is trying.
@@user-fn6gb5cu6x True, but I just don't like the thought of dull and ugly design that lacks creativity such as these houses. Aesthetics and beauty matters in the built environment in order for designs not to depreciate over time as we advance into the future. I also don't like the thought that's crossing my mind of associating bad and ugly buildings with Africa. We have to beautify the continent, our countries. I think a simple 3d printed stylistic unique dwellings would've met the requirement perfectly. I think Rwanda should look at investing in 3D printing of such small houses. The capacity of 3D printing is such that it allows us to build even organics structures effortlessly, cheaply, fast, and that are environmentally friendly. The flexibility of 3D printed designs of houses is such that we can mold designs in a way that would suit the environment. Rwanda for example is a green envirnment; organic 3D printed houses with an organic masterplan would suit perfectly. These 3D printed houses take about 4 days to build, yet they have everything a full functioning house has.
@@kudrah Masa why? Are these houses ugly aah .. u fool ooo
@@abueghan1363 Better can be done for the money but it's alright i guess. I don't think you know of what i am refering to. That's why you will always remain behind because your thinking is limited.
I know this is an old post, hopefully you see this comment. Iam interested in affordable beautiful housing. How do reach you?
Kudus continue to make Africa an attractive place to live
Yes pleaseeeeee 🤗
good work
Learn from others South Africa as you have a huge housing backlog
Good content.🙂
They need power tools battery power tools to move forward in africka black africka!!
18% to 34%? wow!
Rwandan President must hovern the whole of Africa please. We dont need the others. President Kagame is for Africa!!!! Ohhh South African needs leaders like this i tell you.
"Affordable houses?"
Somali owners of adhi construction are amazing 🤩 I hope they come back home and do same in Somalia .
Why should they all they will be met with is qabil and al shabaab
@@ayubahmed1183 🤡 they already have construction business in Mogadishu and dahabshiil who's from my village in degmada caynaba Togdheer Somalia is building over 5000 house's and a 20 story hotel in Mogadishu so 💰 talks bull shit walks 😜
@@somalien9447 mashallah like to hear that but still a lot of work left to be done to get way more investors
@@ayubahmed1183 💯🙏
Gabon situation is changing now and we are ready to welcome developers back to our Land. Courage to you Rwanda 🇷🇼 keep pushing
Mashallah, Rwanda is blessed with a visionary leader.👍👍👍
Good news. Rwanda showing the way. TV presenter on point, so articulate and great voice. Plus there's no propaganda showing Afrika in bad light. ❤️🇰🇪❤️
Thnks rwanda for hiring somali brother, And not a chines
Business should hire skill not blood,that's how you become successful.
@@lazarusramaube8291 Somali's are skilled, wtf you talking about
You hire people because they are skilled not because they are your cousins,you Racist.
@@Churros1616 skilled?? 🤣🤣🤣
@@lazarusramaube8291 In actual fact it should be based on both. Blood and skill. A European will not give you a job his next door brother can do for him. Additionally, we all know African products exported to the world are heavily taxed and face so many off putting obstacles, and their neighbours one are on the other hand not taxed so much, and or even subsidised.
So the sooner we start uniting and giving each other the endless opportunity we have in our own continent, the better our presence in the world table, as a true united force to recon with.
Go Rwanda, Go Africans and be one in the face of division and modern financial enslavers at the hands of our colonisers.
It's good to see Rwanda turning itself around and building itself up after all the bad times. It just proves that these other corrupt administrations in Africa really have no excuse.
Only showing you the poor parts of rwanda.. Rwanda is the cleanest country in the world in the neighborhoods or super beautiful!!!🤩🤩❤️
@@SPECIALTRADER1 ok..wasn't too clean in the 80's...but I'm sure you know all about it 🙄
@@RonFilco.9358 AND YOU ARE CORRECT...I DO KNOW..LOL ua-cam.com/video/sMf7GTNTtZ4/v-deo.html
@@RonFilco.9358 Yes we know but this is 2022 so keep it moving.
@@SPECIALTRADER1 Most people in Rwanda can't afford to live in affluent neighborhoods so why not show what some locals can afford.
Everything is fine, my concern comes to a word "AFFORDABLE" life in kigali is becoming to expensive, so may be your houses are affordable but life is extremely expensive.
True Rwanda should import less and export more, that's how they can lower the prices. Also they need more entrepreneurship in Rwanda.
it's not affordable at all. You need to be rich to live in Kigali that's just a fact
Africans lets gather here and give this video many likes. this is good indeed
Rwanda 🇷🇼 is growing rapidly
I love this…Rwanda is a beacon of hope
Glad the project was given to an African company, and not Indians or Chinese as we see it in many African countries
Am so shocked with that big change, God bless your Leader and his followers honest and good citizen. You set up very good example to all African.
Don't shocked 😒 try it
Rwanda my country. I like your house plans. Very lovely.🌹🌹🌹.
Viva Rwanda
I know a Somali when I see one 😂
Even the company name is ADHI🐐
It's a shame that these homes can't be net zero with rainwater collection systems, compost toilettes, grey water recycling, and solar power systems. Unfortunately, this would probably push these already expensive homes, out of reach for most people in Rwanda.
What a wonderful presentation. Articulate, clear, concise and well researched. I found this very informative. Rwanda seems to be a leading light on so many fronts in the continent of Africa. And.... the world. Its great to see that the state is thinking about the affordable housing sector as well as the higher cost units.
😅😅😅
After looting Congo for many years, Rwanda officials mostly military have money and don’t know what to do with it! So they try real estates! Most of these built homes are unoccupied regular Rwandans can’t even afford rent or buy then … castles built on moving sand
@@IsaroBururu thunder fire u
@@alainvick5727 am the Thunder…i can descend upon you
@@IsaroBururu Beigium, France and other Europeans have been looting your resources for hundreds of years, why don't you beat them up like you beat that Rwandan official?
Somali companies are the biggest investment in East Africa
I wish more governors would do that in Africa. But unfortunately most of them are there to take advantage. In Mozambique a couple with high education working earning about 1500usd, can't buy a house or have a decent life.
Too many Americans investing in Moz and making things difficult
@@lazarusramaube8291
It's corruption, and not American investment.
@@1nesoch You been to Moz?
@@lazarusramaube8291
I was there as Rwandan military support task force.
@@1nesoch In my country we call it investment.
💪🏿 EXCELLENT... Forward to moving my family to Kigali from the US.. actually we will visit in a few months.❤️🤩
Proud of the Somali contractors implementing this project.
Such a nice coverage. And funny and smart entrepreneur.. Go Rawanda Go!! Well done.
Congratulations from Ghana 🇬🇭
Well done and congratulations 👏 to the leadership of Rwanda
This is What calls Development win win Project. Countries like Kenya and all other can see how Development done without Chinese.
So much admiration for the Rwandese government and what they are doing- less talk more action.
All houses must have a rain water catchment not one drop of rain must not be wasted and there should not be any Rain run off where these new houses are built trees should be panted to hold the soil and to give shade also these things must be implemented it is a MUST!!
So how will you deal with human waste and how will you inturn generate power/ electricity??
Just like imagination 💭 the youth and many Rwandan folks cannot afford to buy those the so called affordable housing! Research shows that an average of salary in is 150,000 rwandan francs which’s equivalent to $150! A person who lives his/her day-to-day living on a monthly salary which is not even enough to cater for basic needs! How this vulnerable person will be able to buy a similar house!!! Sad to hear this poor politics and unsure planning!!
And they said these houses are from people who earn from 200$ upwards so if you earn 150$ and your wife earns 150$ that means you can get the mortgage this is a really good deal they are not asking rwandans to pay 16,000$ at once this is probably the cheapest project iv ever seen come to nairobi with 200$ a month as a salary and see if you can get that mortgage
How can a house be affordable at 250.000 dollars in a country where most of people work for under 2 dollars a day?
All this about rwanda is fake and organized propagandas
@@imaniboaz1554 to much propagandas
@@ndagijefocus7607 I dont know why many people believe fake news from rwanda and the rwandans are the most oppressed people in africa
You are right!!
The Rwanda economy is from western beginning money, and fake!!
All Rwanda people live under poverty.
They range from 16,000$ upwards so if you cant get the 250,000$ one then buy the 16k one n we rwandans we are happy with our government let us be oppressed in peace
🇸🇴SOMALI COMPANIES TO THE WORLD🌍
I'm happy for you Africa ☮️❤️
Buhari 🇳🇬 are you watching?
Good jobs our Africa
I hope good future
Looking good follow back done God bless you 🇰🇪 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do your company build single family homes on owners plots, also?
United African leaders make one money make travel easier for African citizens
1:20 that neighborhood need more trees, parks, and facilities.
What about clay/earthen materials, instead of cement
Waa Ruwanda am coming
Me too,i want to stay at such places.
Not a single mention of Chinese participation and cooperation
Since Rwanda is such a small country and expect a population growth at 3X is there a reason they are not building high rise homes?
Mortgage
Are the using a printer 3D printer?
BLACK EXCELLENCE...EACH ONE, TEACH ONE. 👋
African change mind
🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Why you didn't build the same houses to Nyarutarama/Kangondo people?😌
I love this.
Then what about polystyrene panels or eps this must also be looked into the faster the better and we are looking at less electricity been used
You should build apartment in Africa cause it has a high population.
Sloman idd looks somali iheatd Rwandan and Somali look alike
i hope at vi have same prebsident at the fuchur tine❤❤👏
Foreign companies building houses for locals? Materials not made by locals nor built by locals, forgive the pathetic choices made by leaders. I will not invest a single dime to invest in any of those houses
🎉
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Property management is necessary continously
Love this, South Africa 💙

How much doest it cost to buy one house
The real Wakanda
Thank you
GREAT STUFF
You are doing great and I back this initiative. We should introduce it in many places of Rwanda as we extend it to other EastAfrican countries.
I need some units for renting out, let me know what could require to have them as soon as construction is done
Some countries you can only admire
The good thing about all their houses built in Rwanda is that they are all going to be occupied by ppl of Rwanda and not other Africans 8n the name of Ubuntu just like the bullshit that is happening here in SA foreigners occupying all government buildings in JHB CBD 💁♂️
Don’t bring ur xenophobia here uff , the ceo of the Project is Somali , envy is an ugly trait . Get ur money up .
SA's white people really destroyed you people. You hate your fellow africans more than the europeans who colonized, enslaved, murdered and raped you. Luckily Rwanda is not like that. Rwanda is quite diverse. They have overcome their civil war. Hopefully SA will also one day.
Do they use insulation in housing in Africa?
No
Didnt even bother to check your spelling, eh?! Of course, I understand human psychology. Fool stop.
No insulation...It never gets cold or hot, so no need for AC or a Heater
No insulation. it's 80% Brick houses across Africa.
Mostly not needed due to whether stability. Just an Aircon should do in some cases
