    My family is from Ghana, I love ❤that you decided to go to Africa and go all out. I love ❤your coconut hut ❤❤ It looks great. Make your floor out of cob. Its clay, Sand and haye of straw bale. Mixer with water. Your land has red clay. You can make your house with this, your roof, your fence. It acts like cement. You dont need to buy cement blocks. This is what we call earthen homes

I've seen Dears, Boars, Racoons, Lizards, Geckos, I've had three Bobcats pass right in back of my tent. I sat up and looked at them. They looked at me and then kept walking. I'm not afraid of wild animals. I'll try and make friends with them if I could. I was made for this life. I'd love to walk around my house in the sand barefoot.

      @ Jay Cobb - While her journey may be inspirational, it's not for everyone. Clearly she had a good amount of savings to purchase land. Not everyone is financially equipped to do that. You also have to consider the fact that you will need to be able to sustain yourself once you make that big move. All that being said, this is not a move that everyone has the resources and wherewithal to undertake. Packing up your whole life and moving to an entirely different country where you will be completely on your own takes money and a lot of planning . . .unless of course, you're a fresh college grad who hasn't started life yet and have nothing to lose.
      I do admire this women's resourcefulness and determination though.

    Hi There,
    The type of coconut hut as shown in your video originates from the Ga tribe's Xmas coconut hut which I understand has disappeared from the Ghana cultural landscape.
    So, I'm happy to see it make a comeback in another form as an everyday living space as shown in your video.
    And, as an improvement, also for the longevity of the leaves, I'm thinking that a layer of clay or mud (plentiful and free in Ghana & I'm sure even to be found near the hut) can be applied once the coconut leaves have dried thoroughly (and adding a layer of clay or mud will not only protect the leaves from aging and decay but also insulate the leaves against fire).
    Finally, once both leaves and the outer layer of clay or mud have dried, the hut can then be painted like any other house &, unwittingly, a new form of affordable dwelling would have been created.
    A word of caution though:
    The question is whether it'll be SUSTAINABLE if many coconut huts modelled after the one this video started to be built in Ghana bearing in mind that the coconut tree which provides the leaves, an essential raw material for building the hut, has been decimated in Ghana by a disease that first started on the east coast of Ghana and then spread along the Ghana coastline killing many coconut trees in the process.
    Needless to say that coconut trees growing by the shoreline as was once the case in many parts of the Ghana coastline could have helped against beach erosion and also probably against rising sea levels.
    All in all, as coconut leaves are harvested to build huts such as the one in this video, it's also worth remembering that there's an urgent need to plant new species of the coconut tree, preferably faster-growing specimens, especially along Ghana's coastline & what is being done in the republic of Benin can serve as a model/example.

Hold on... I have a story... I live in a 1200 population community of basically farmers. We have at least 5 white South Africans (that I know of here) that I talk to quite a bit... They all work for farmers here and send most of there money back to Africa to their families... And a south African I talked to the other day said it's $1 usd to 15 African dollars. He also told me horror stories of several white South African families being slaughtered and their farms taken over. And then mismanagement happened and the farms were ruined. Then those same black Africans preyed upon another white South African farmstead and repeated the process. So in doing that they are hurting themselves because you're taking food out your own mouth.

Jesus was a White Man and presently there are now numerous images put out online of what Jesus looked like. From Brown to Black to Arab. These is just to mention but a few of the lies spread from generation to generation. If you could provide proof that all humans originated from Africa, so would I be able to present the phisical proof of the existence of a God. Go figure!

    I admire where her mind is and what she’s trying to do. Got her own property in the motherland. 👏
    As an African (who currently lives in America) from personal experience I know so well how this goes- People in Africa will be super sweet to you when you’ve got connections to overseas because they know eventually there will be some foreign currency (dollar bills in this case) coming to them if they play their part. The men will be hoping the girl can marry them and upgrade their lives with an American citizenship so obviously everyone especially city officials are nice to her because they know her nationality. Lol
    Jokes aside, in America she can’t get such an opportunity for so little money. Maybe in remote rural America where land is cheap but not expensive beach front property or in the suburbs. She’s smart converting a few hundreds of US Uber dollars into an African investment.
    Let’s be honest though, as cute as this house looks it’s not an actual livable home that someone can put furniture in and call home.
    The dude saying “security aspect is that it’s a safe community” is literally b.s from a common sense point of view. That explains why there was nothing in the ‘house’ as far as her personal belongings are concerned. Cool in theory but not practical in real life… the whole community knows there’s an American who bought land in town and she’ll be a local celebrity fast to both good neighbors, the curious as well as burglars which is typical worldwide. Where I come from when you purchase land you have to put up a structure on it so I believe that’s where she’s at before her actual modern buildings are up. I wish her the best in her endeavors and look forward to her future projects on her land in Africa.

    Hey great Idea if I can chip in we built these kind of huts growing up in Ghana and realised to make the roof water tight cut bamboos in halves and knock the little grids to allow water to flow freely and to place half’s facing up then place the others facing down covering the gaps for water to drain into the ones facing up. Got it? ¥^wM
