More information
Tamara Housing Trust is a registered Public Benefit Organisation. South African Mary-Ann Lloyd had a desire to assist disadvantaged women (domestic helpers; unmarried women; widows or single women who had been abused or abandoned by their husbands etc.) to obtain suitable homes. She stipulated that the houses constructed for these categories of women should be architecturally designed and built by members of the Master Builders Association. Mary-Ann Lloyd was a remarkable lady, a granddaughter of South African mining magnate, Sir Abe Bailey, so she was born a person of means, but she always used her inheritance in the best possible way, helping other people.
