What can you do to help?

R1,00 is all it takes to buy one brick. And 8000 bricks is what it takes to build a home. Together with Habitat for Humanity South Africa, The Hotels Housing Trust helps build simple affordable houses in poverty stricken areas. The building cost of a house is approximately R53 000, but whether you contribute towards a few bricks or an entire house every donation counts.

  • No matter how large or small, every contribution is greatly appreciated.
  • The Hotel Housing Trust raises money through donations like yours.
  • In partnership with Habitat for Humanity South Africa, these donations are used to help people in poor communities build homes for themselves.
  • Many people will benefit from your donation as it is used over and over again in the form of a revolving loan.
  • Audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, your donation can be conviently added to your hotel bill.
