What is a South African Individual Program?

Each one of us can play our part in solving the housing crisis in South Africa.

This program specifically caters to those individual South Africans who, like us, believe that their individual participation can make a difference. They believe by extending their hand to help just one person that change can be effected. The wonderful thing about this program is that one individual participating has within their power the ability to significantly contribute and change the life of a family and the multiplier effect of this change could be huge.

In addition, this program can be used in combination with the NGO and not-for profit program in that individuals affiliated with an NGO or not-for profit organization may wish to pledge R1000 as per of their participation with their affiliated organization.

If you are that individual ready and willing to participate in this program, then follow the steps below
