How we empower African migrants to earn through apartment sharing – Ehijiagbone Clement

Ehijiagbone Clement, the CEO of ShareRent, said the firm is providing a platform for African migrants to earn through apartment sharing.

Clement said the firm was established in November 2022 in response to the housing crisis and accommodation challenges faced by African migrants in the UK and Canada.

Clement, a 34-year-old Nigerian entrepreneur with expertise in information science and software engineering, said ShareRent has rapidly garnered attention for its approach to improving the lives of Nigerian and African migrants.

“As an African migrant, I intimately understand the difficulties of finding suitable accommodation in a new country. ShareRent was created to bridge this gap by providing a platform tailored to the specific needs of African migrants in the UK and Canada.

“We focus exclusively on apartment sharing services, connecting hosts (apartment owners) with rentals (individuals seeking shared accommodations). This approach directly addresses the challenges faced by African migrants in securing appropriate living arrangements.”

Highlighting what sets ShareRent apart, Clement states, “Our brand distinguishes itself by catering specifically to Nigerian migrants in the UK and Canada, along with prospective student migrants and expatriates. ShareRent delivers a tailored and unique experience, effectively addressing the specific needs of African migrants.

“Central to ShareRent’s functionality is the facilitation of connections between hosts and rentals. For hosts, ShareRent provides a unique opportunity to earn extra income by sharing their apartments with new migrants, creating a platform that fosters mutually beneficial relationships.

“For the host, ShareRent helps them earn extra income by providing them a platform to share their apartment with new migrants.”

“At our core, we are driven by a mission to foster genuine connections among individuals from different countries. Our platform serves as the ultimate solution for finding accommodation before traveling abroad.”
