On 18 August 2007, Provincial Government officials including MEC's from various departments, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) employees and inmates of the Department Correctional Services laid the first brick of the house for a Khayelitsha family whose six year old girl was raped. The mother of the girl is blind and the father is mentally disabled. Speaking at the media briefing, Mr. Balfour Ngconde, National Minister for Correctional Services acknowledged his department, sponsors such ABSA Bank, M5 builders and Provincial Government Western Cape for their initiative. "This has lifted us as the department and it touches ones heart when you doing something for a disadvantaged person." On this day, the beneficiary who can not be named for security reason was also present.

Mr. Ebrahim Rasool, the Premier of Western Cape was among high profile people who took part in the building of the house. Rasool said the Western Cape Province has a 400 000 housing back log and the initiative is such a good example if the province is to address this challenge. "What we doing here is a good signal of the Home For All principle and this forms part of correcting the past," the Premier said.
