Reall has worked in Ghana since 2014, in partnership with Afreh group.

Ghana continues to experience rapid urban growth, with a significant portion of the population living in informal, substandard housing that is overcrowded and lacks basic infrastructure, such as water, electricity and waste management. In addition, the housing deficit has contributed to rising property and rental prices, pushing many low-income families into substandard living conditions and deepening socio-economic inequality

In response, Reall supported an affordable housing development in Tamale, the capital of Ghana’s Northern Region. Delivered by private developer Afreh Group, the project provides 100 fully serviced homes for low-income members of the Tamale Community Cooperative Credit Union. Situated on 12 hectares of land just 10 km from the city centre, the site benefits from existing service access and is located near schools, markets, and other amenities. The houses are designed to be incrementally expandable, giving homeowners the option to extend their homes over time according to their needs and financial capacity. Upon completion, this estate became the first EDGE certified project in the Reall network.

This project in Tamale represents a replicable, community-driven model for delivering dignified, affordable housing in Ghana’s rapidly urbanising regions.
