Thanksgiving

“A man is not a man until he has a house of his own”
Nelson Mandela

Sophia Morris, and other former shack dwellers are giving thanks, … thanks to actions of The Niall Mellon Township Trust and other charity organisations that are building houses for people or buying them furniture for their new houses.

“Getting a brick house changed my whole life”

The vision of Niall Mellon is to eradicate the landscapes of shacks, for which the trust was established in 2002.  Throughout 2008, they held a series on one day volunteer ‘builds’ in the Western Cape where volunteers physically help in their mission to build high quality low cost homes for shack-dwellers.
