About Umnotho Village
Umnotho Village was started by low-income families from the informal settlements of Muldersdrift. They were frustrated by the terrible living conditions in the squatter camps. Daily people survive with no running water and no dignified toilets. From 2011, twelve families started saving R150 per month towards buying land for housing. In 2015 there were 650 families who collectively saved R4.5 million, and they bought 28 hectares of land.
​​
Umnotho is a self-help organisation focused on buying land, subdividing the land, and for each family to get a Stand where they can build their own house. Umnotho is for families in need of decent and affordable housing.

We Want The Ability To Build Our Own Houses!
The system in Gauteng does not allow low-income people to build their own houses, hence we find ourselves in the squatter camps with poor living conditions. People must pay banks for many many years or depend on the government for housing.
Current Developments
So far Umnotho allocated 288 Stands and the families are building their own houses.
Current sites are: Umnotho Estate (Plot 130) and Silakhile Estate (Plot 79)

Housing Stokvel
The Skokvel is about you and me coming together to build our houses. If you do it alone it is expensive to build a house, and it takes time. But when we build together, we have more bargaining power, and we are be able to negotiate for cheaper building material.
​​
We don't have to owe banks a lot of money and be paying years for our houses. The little that we have, we put together, and we achieve more.​
​
The Stokvels model is used by many people to achieve great things. Some buy groceries together, taxi owners buy taxis, and there are many more examples.
​
We can build our houses and only pay for 5 years.
