A woman has achieved a first in the African country of Togo with an ecological space she tagged an 'ecovillage'.

The seven-bungalow beautiful village comes with a fish pond, swimming pool, two meeting rooms and a restaurant, among other interesting attractions for adult users and children alike.
Ige, who described the ecovillage as her gift from the coronavirus lockdown, said the village was built to preserve the environment.
As the name implies and from the images she made available, the building is uniquely designed to cut down on activities that pollute the environment and generates its own electricity.
Social media users hailed her innovation as they found it wonderful.
Wonuola Coker said:
"So lovely. Well done Sis! Congratulations. May it continue to grow in leaps and bounds in Jesus' name."
Dr Richard Munang remarked:
"Congratulations Tokunbo Ige for this exciting work you are doing. Your passion and drive to take #climateAction to another level is admirable. Keep the passion and innovation to devise solutions that touches many lives positively. This is the power of #InnovativeVolunteerism inspiring #youth #ClimateAction solutions."

Briefly News also reported that some homeless people in Oakland, California, United States, have found a way to solve their housing crisis by building a village under a bridge. According to The Guardian, the village, which is called Cob on Wood, is a collection of beautiful small structures built from foraged materials.
Briefly News gathers that in this collection of structures, there’s a hot shower, a fully stocked kitchen, an outdoor pizza oven, a composting toilet and a small clinic.
There is a store that people go to receive donated items, including clothes and books. Dmitri Schusterman, a nearby resident who helped organise and build the centre at the end of 2020, said each component was built by hand.
