The Volta coastal city of Keta carries a powerful climate history. About 40 years ago, large parts of the city were almost wiped out by devastating sea waves linked to climate change. Today, a new story of resilience, innovation, and renewal is unfolding. With the launch of Keta Hydroponics by Africa House, livelihoods are being restored and sustainable food production is returning to the heart of this historic coastal community.

Keta Hydroponics by Africa House is powered by a vertical smart hydroponics system that produces harvests larger than conventional soil-based farming on one acre, using an incredibly small footprint of just 10 feet by 10 feet. In effect, a 10×10-foot hydroponics unit delivers yields that surpass one full acre of traditional farming—while remaining 100% organic.

This breakthrough technology offers a powerful solution for regions of Ghana affected by illegal mining (galamsey), as well as urban and rural areas with degraded or poor soil conditions. With Africa House hydroponics systems, food can be grown all year round, without dependence on soil quality. Farmers can also grow crops during the dry season while saving over 90% of water compared to conventional agriculture.

In 2025, Africa House embarked on a nationwide Ghana Hydroponics Tour, training women, youth, students, and farmers across the country. Notably, female farmers as old as 60 years in remote farming communities of the Volta Region were trained in hydroponics—demonstrating the inclusiveness, simplicity, and accessibility of the technology.

What truly distinguishes Africa House is its empowerment-driven approach. Beyond deploying systems, Africa House teaches communities how to build smart hydroponics systems themselves, reinforcing the timeless principle of teaching people how to fish rather than giving them fish. This approach ensures sustainability, local ownership, and long-term impact.

Since 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Africa House has trained over 2,000 people across Africa, working closely with governments, institutions, academia, and development partners. Recently, Africa House collaborated with the prestigious University of Ghana, alongside other key stakeholders, further strengthening its leadership in research-backed, community-centered agricultural innovation.

Today, Africa House stands as the largest builder of smart and large-scale hydroponics kits for Africa and the global market—serving households, schools, institutions, and commercial farmers alike.

As Africa House looks ahead to 2026 and beyond, the future is brighter than ever, driven by innovation, strategic partnerships, climate resilience, and a clear mission to transform food production across Africa and the world.
