Name: Netreg
The Netreg Project is a greenfields self-help development project that provides homes to 191 families previously living in backyard shacks in the Netreg area. DAG has been assisting with the project since 1997.
After securing the right in 2004 to develop a piece of vacant land in their neighbourhood, the group secured subsidies and grants to implement the self-help project. In 2006, 191 houses were constructed and handed over. The group built 42m2 semi-detached homes in conjunction with the Nial Mello Township Initiative.
Beneficiaries of the project
37 working cart horses will benefit from the new carts as they will be roadworthy and easier to pull. 18 Netreg cart horse owners have been notified that through the generous donations of those participating in Make Christmas Matter they will be the initial beneficiaries of new carts. 16 owners will receive one new cart each and two owners with a number of horses will receive two carts each. One cart horse owner has been nominated as the CHPA representative in the Netreg community. Two cart builders have been appointed to begin the construction of the first 18 carts for Phase 2 of the Netreg Pilot Project.
Challenges faced in implementation
A challenge that we have faced during this first report period, is the fact that not all the Netreg cart horse owners attend meetings. This was overcome by electing a representative from the community who is responsible for gathering and distributing information to the other owners. This has proved to be very successful.
