In Abraham Maslow’s Self-actualization concept; a theory he created to show the hierarchy of needs, he firmly maintained that shelter as one of the most important needs of man.
One of the chronic problems for majority of Africans is shelter, or simply put a decent place to lay one’s head after bustling and hustling throughout the whole day. In Ghana, rent issue is the most problematic for city dwellers.
We believe this is what has inspired this unidentified man seen building houses built using plastic bottles filled with sand and arranged like bricks.
A Facebook page named The Controversial Files shared the photos, sparking intense debate on the advantages and disadvantages of such houses.
Lots of Facebook commenters commended the young man for his innovation, saying plastic houses could last for several years, whilst revealing some Asians country have taken the lead with this noble idea.
Predictably, others were not too convinced and wondered who could sleep comfortably in a house build with only plastic bottles.
