Why am I raising money for land? |

To provide future security for many of the children New Hope currently care for.
It is almost impossible for a young person with an ordinary job from a lower income family or background to buy land. Many don’t have the cash, and land is 99% sold for cash, with no payment plans.
New Hope want to provide each child with a piece of land, their priorities will start with their orphaned girls with no family support. No matter how remote land may seem from a town today, its value will always hold.
When a person owns even the smallest section of land, they become established.
They will receive a Local Tax Book and that means a right to Vote, a right to a Ration Card, as well as being able to claim residence benefits.
If they marry and build even the simplest single room house with their husbands loan and the land is in their name, their children have a right to education in the given area, free and subsidised.

A young woman might have a job in a nearby city and have a better opportunity if she purchased a sewing machine or even a computer, or started a small trade kiosk, the Land Title would provide collateral for a small scale government loan.
New Hope have already managed to give land to senior orphan girls and feel that they have given them something of long term worth, a piece of independence.
The land is located within a mile or so of four major colleges, offering courses from engineering to agriculture. It is also dry, flat and flood-free.
New Hope have identified a suitable piece of land which is 1 acre. When all settled and fenced, with plots, it will cost £8575 and would provide 14 girls with their own plot of land.
Maybe the easiest way to express the cost is around £2.00 per square yard or £612.50 per plot
