Tswapong residents fight for homes

The residents have petitioned the head office in Geneva asking to have their debt, amounting to P1.8 million, written off.

Since 1992, Habitat for Humanity has built about 2,450 houses for low-income earners who could not get loans from banks or the Self Help Housing Agency (SHHA). According to the finance and administration manager, Moeti Joel, a house cannot be built for a person who has a source of income but has been found to be overwhelmed by other commitments.
