Funders

Funding JHC: an overview

Makhulong a Matala

Funding Community Development

Makhulong A Matala is a registered non-profit company and public benefit organisation. This means donors who give funding to Makhulong can deduct the amount they donate from their taxable income.

Youth and children development

Young children with time on their hands and no supervision can get up to mischief. In the spirit of together finding solutions to social issues, Makhulong A Matala has established several programmes to keep the children of JHC tenants happy and occupied when their parents are not around.

Neighbourhood development

Our neighbourhood and community programmes were set up to bring Makhulong’s idea of a community to the neighbourhood; we work with other stakeholders in the area to keep the space clean and to contribute to the decrease in crime.

Tenant support services

Makhulong A Matala's goal is to build bonds between neighbours so they love where they live. We help to create sustainable social housing communities where tenants take control of their lives, know their rights and responsibilities, and take part in the decisions that affect them.
