Build a Home

LEARN MORE>>

This is beautiful Ethel. Anyone who knows her, would agree that she is kind, humble, faithful, strong, loving, passionate and an incredible woman – who absolutely deserves the best!

Ethel now owns a small piece of fenced land and her lifelong dream to build a home for her family is looking more and more of a reality.

Like many other amazing South Africans, her elderly mother looks after her children and lives in a shack in another part of Cape Town. She does this so that Ethel can work to support her 5 children. The opportunity for Ethel to build a home will mean they will all be able to live under one roof, like every family should.
