Dear Sir/Madam
Our organisation is a newly established organisation based in South Africa, Western Province, Cape Town. Our focus is on Socio-economic rights and social justice. The organisation work with community based organisation and poor communities in advance socio-economic rights and social justice. One of the challenges faced by poor communities in the Western Cape is access to housing and land. During Apartheid people were forcefully removed from areas they occupied, today those people living in overcrowded two bedroom flats/houses which is owned by City of Cape Town. They are in poor conditions, despite the fact that those houses are not be maintained by the City of Cape Town poor people must still pay rental to the City of Cape Town. They do not own the properties, and therefore are not allowed to rebuild the houses for their new family members. This has lead to many social ills, amongst others gangster, drug and alcohol abuse. There is currently a housing shortage of between 3000.00 – 4000.00. However the provincial government return monies to the national government without building housing in the province. Our organisation is striving to mobilise communities in order to find redress on this question. As an organisation we would appreciate funding to advance our cause. You can contact me at 0785300206, My name Brian Moody for further details, question or clarity, you can contact me. Thank you for your
