Blitz Sponsorship

We would like to thank the following suppliers for their support in sponsorsing the annual Irish building blitz with either cash donations or building material supplies.

This year, the charity is hoping to bring 2008, mostly Irish, volunteers to Cape Town for one week to build 250 houses in the townships of Khayelitsha and Wallacedene.

They will need to raise 5000 Euros each. Half of these funds will go towards accommodation and travel costs and the remainder will be used to purchase building supplies.
