Due to the people from the village who are involved in working at MAT
there is a growing interest from villagers in need of homes to have
ones that are built in the same methods as MAT’s. There are already a
number of sustainable buildings in the village so we hope to set up an
‘Alternative Technology Walking Trail’ through McGregor.
Resulting in contact with MAT numerous other sustainable buildings
have been built in McGregor one of them being a compost cob toilet for
the creche at the McGregor Family Center.
We are planning to have MAT registered as a “non-profit society”. We welcome funding for this project. This will help us to reach more people and to really get our projects under way.
