A New Way to Think About Homeownership in Africa
Across Africa, families, workers, and entrepreneurs share the same dream — the freedom and security that comes with owning a home.
But for many, that dream feels out of reach. Traditional housing is very expensive and often quality control and time is takes to build become serious concerns !!!
At Zhauns, we believe homeownership should be affordable for everyone. Whether you want to build your first family home, set up a small business space, or add a second unit to generate extra income, our fold-out housing solutions make it possible — no construction delays, no complex paperwork, and no high costs.
Our homes are designed for African conditions, made from durable, low-maintenance materials that withstand weather and time. Most importantly, they’re built to give people across Africa the opportunity to create a better future for themselves and their families.
What Does Affordable Housing Really Mean Today?
The term “affordable housing” used to mean low-cost, basic structures — but times have changed.
Today, affordable housing means smart design, modern materials, and flexible living options that meet real human needs without financial strain.
Affordable homes must:
- Be accessible to build or buy.
- Be durable and safe to live in.
- Offer flexibility for different uses — from housing to business spaces.
- Provide comfort and dignity without a luxury price tag.
That’s exactly what Zhauns’ fold-out homes deliver.
