Across Africa, young people can no longer afford the cities and neighborhoods they call home. OkayAfrica has developed a series exploring the housing crisis transforming African cities and communities, and what happens when basic shelter becomes a luxury commodity.
Even as trucks and buses give way to more compact tricycles, the messages and motifs that are inscribed on different modes of transportation keep them an essential part of local storytelling.

Founded in 2010 as an extension of Okayplayer, OkayAfrica serves as a cultural bridge to foster deeper understanding of the continent, while also building meaningful connections with its diaspora.
