A history of the Victoria Mxenge Housing Project, founded in 1994 by a group of twelve women living in shacks outside Cape Town. This development organisation evolved into a social movement and then a service provider. The desolate piece of land these women occupied is now a sustainable community of more than five thousand houses.
