Habitat
for Humanity - Desmond Tutu Community Build Project |
We are now in the process of planning the next trip to Cape Town to take part in the Desmond Tutu Community Build 2008. It is due to take place on the 6th - 14th September 08.
South Africa Nearly half the 45 million population live below the poverty line. And almost 10 million South Africans live in poverty housing – nearly 1 in 5 of the population. The housing backlog alone is estimated at 2.5 million houses. In addition to the enormous need for housing and services, rapid urbanisation and the effects of Apartheid have resulted in a fracturing of traditional structures, families and community. Hailed as ‘the miracle nation’, South Africa made the peaceful transition from Apartheid to democratic government in the spirit of ‘unity in diversity’. Now, a new challenge is facing South Africa: the challenge to build a brighter future and end poverty housing. What next? Well
following on from the personal impact this trip to South Africa
has had on many of
the team and having seen the mammoth task of building homes for
the huge number of families currently in makeshift shacks. We
are currently in the process of planning our next trip which will
be on the 6th September 08, should you wish to support
us or require
further details please contact us via email at Sponsors We would like to thank all individuals and companies that have supported us so far with their prayer, help, support and financial assistance. Below are listed companies that have sponsored us for this project: Abbots
