The Snug Haven
Snug Haven is one of BDI’s in-house funding mechanisms. The initiative is designed to raise funds through short-term housing solutions to generate revenue for our projects and initiatives in rural Ghana. This innovative approach repurposes underutilised spaces within the BDI network for temporary accommodations, channelling seventy per cent (70%) of Snug Haven’s profits directly into BDI’s project pool. In addition to its financial role, Snug Haven cultivates a sense of community and teamwork among BDI employees and lodgers, contributing to the evolving landscape of short-term housing to meet the changing needs of researchers, modern professionals, and travellers. This forward-thinking approach ensures the ongoing success of our projects while positively impacting our broader business ecosystem.
