Qwetu student hostels on Ring Road, Nairobi. One such firm is Acorn Holdings Africa, the developer behind Qwetu purpose-built student accommodation facilities that promises to give residents “a home away from home.”According to Acorn, the idea was informed by the need to address students’ changing needs and rising demand for premium student accommodation facilities. With occupancy at 2,300 beds, Qwetu accounted for only five per cent of the total addressable market, leaving a huge untapped potential in student accommodation. Poor hygiene standards and complaints of bedbug infestations are rife within student accommodation halls,” said Acorn. The sense of hygiene in private hostels makes even parents want their children in such an environment,” said Mr Obuom.
