Giving Back to Our Community.

At ROI Properties, we believe thriving communities build thriving property markets.

At ROI Properties, people come first. As a Cape Town-based business, we support MES, a nonprofit that's been transforming lives in South Africa's inner cities since 1986. MES helps individuals move from dependency to dignity through care, rehabilitation, and development.

When we talk about community impact, this is what we mean. Showing up where it matters most. We deeply believe in the impact of their work and are proud to stand behind it.

Why MES?

MES has been serving communities for nearly four decades, with teams active in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Gqeberha and Kempton Park. Their approach is practical and people-centred, helping individuals rebuild their lives through shelter, job rehabilitation and development opportunities.

  • Helping People Right Where They Are: Providing immediate support like food, safety, hygiene, and basic care.
  • Getting Ready For Change: Help individuals stabilise emotionally, mentally, and physically so they are ready to make positive life changes.
  • Preparing For School or Work: Equip people with the skills, education, and experience they need to succeed at school, work, or further opportunities.
  • Living Independently: Support individuals to move into stable housing, employment, and independent living as confident, contributing members of society.

How We Support MES

As a local business, we believe our success should contribute to something meaningful. By supporting MES, we aim to make a tangible difference.

We get involved by:

  • Raising awareness: Using our platform to highlight MES's mission and successes
  • Connecting people: Introducing clients and partners who want to contribute
  • Offering support: Donating time and resources to campaigns and drives
  • Encouraging action: Sharing stories that show how small steps lead to real change support

Everyone deserves the chance to build a life with dignity. MES helps make that possible.
