Important: This is not an investment. Contributions provide time-limited community use benefits only and do not create ownership, equity, profit-sharing, repayment rights, or financial returns.
Sankofa Community Housing
Join us in building sustainable accommodation through cost-based community participation.
Why This Model?
We are replacing the traditional "developer profit" model with a "community cost-recovery" model. You pay for the build, you get the use.
Cost-Based Access
Pay actual build cost (+ buffer) to secure exclusive use. No profit markup on the initial access fee.
Sustainable Living
Units are designed with solar integration and eco-friendly materials, reducing long-term footprint.
Community Owned
Assets remain owned by the NGO to serve the mission. You hold a secure key to the community.
Designed for Impact & Inclusion
Local Residents
Ghanaians seeking high-quality, sustainable housing without the burden of land purchase or construction management.
The Diaspora
Returnees and digital nomads looking for a "soft landing" and a reliable, eco-conscious home base in Ghana.
Impact Supporters
Philanthropists and mission-aligned individuals who want to fund infrastructure for the NGO (ROI optional).
How the Model Works
By funding a unit, you kickstart a cycle of growth. Your initial contribution builds the asset. Renewal fees maintain it. Reassignment fees fund the next unit.
- Phase 1: Build & Occupy
- Phase 2: Renew or Release
- Phase 3: Fund New Growth
Participation Options
Transparent, cost-based contributions.
Build Sponsor
Fund the construction of a unit and receive 12 months of exclusive access. Ideal for digital nomads, diaspora returnees, or local residents.
- 12 Months Exclusive Use
- Fully Furnished Unit
- Priority Renewal Options
- No Subletting in Year 1
Fund for Mission
Fund a unit's construction but waive your use rights to Year 1. The NGO will use this unit to house volunteers or generate rental income to fund operations.
Your sponsorship directly expands the NGO's asset base without private consumption.
Community Value Comparison (Year 2+)
Seeing the difference between "Profit-Driven Rent" and "Community Member Savings".
| Scenario | Typical Market Tenant | Program Member (Renewal) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | Market Rate (High) | ~50% of Standard Rate |
| Annual "Rent" Spend | 100% Lost Cost | Significantly Reduced |
| Value Type | Service Fee | Use-Right Benefit |
| Investment ROI? | None | None (Savings ≠ Income) |
*Comparisons are illustrative of potential savings for members reusing the same unit. Savings are a reduction in living expenses, not a financial return on capital.
