    Such an informative content. As a designer based in Tanzania I have learnt that building a house in Kenya is almost triple the price in Tanzania due to the construction materials used. But there is much much more quality assurance in Kenya

He says the local landowner giving him a good deal as he will build and donate 4 public water wells to local villages. Other black american families following him there in coming weeks and months.

    Guys consider installing solar panels on the roofs and a battery bank. I think all Africans building new houses should do that. There is plenty of sun in Africa, even in raining season. Start small and increase the solar system slowly. Before you know you have 30 KW system.
