This program has been designed to allow all legitimate NGOs and not-for profit organizations to participate in enriching the lives of many. These not-for-profit organizations would include student groups, church groups, and non-profit community groups or sports clubs. While we understand that such organisations may not have the necessary financial means to contribute in monetary terms, we believe that their participation is worthwhile and valuable to building this initiative.
In order to participate, we request that all such organisations engage in at least one fundraising opportunity on behalf of the NMTT.

Double blessing for residents of Tembisa
Despite their busy schedule, 15 volunteers from the US-based Joel Osteen Ministries set aside a morning to help build houses in Tembisa, Gauteng on 21 October. The group was introduced to the project by Pastor Alan and Xana McCauley from Rhema Hands of Compassion. They along with five HOC staff also participated in the build. As the day was short, the three teams worked hard and remained focussed on the task at hand. Two of the teams were mixing dagha and laying bricks, while the third team was painting the house to be handed over at the end of the day. After lunch and a quick Q&A session on the housing situation and process in South Africa, the JO group prayed for the Rhema group and their continuing partnership and commitment to the housing project in general. Several of the JO volunteers expressed that this had been a 'life changing experience'. "Thank you. It was an honor and pleasure to help build the homes. My life will never be the same. We will keep in touch. God bless you all and the work you are doing there" - Daidra Greathouse.
Elias Faba was the beneficiary that received his house at the end of the build, which he received in memory of his late wife, who passed away last month. He told Pastor Alan that this would have mean't so much for her to have lived long enough to see this special day. Elias and his family of five children have lived in a shack for 19 years. His new house will be full with all five children and his grandchildren living there. He is happy to move into his new house as he believes it will change his life and that his family will live a better life.
