What's happening at Cité Malherbes

 

Since 2001, we have worked closely with the Organisation Fraternelle de Malherbes.  a local organisation set up in 1968 in answer to the social needs of the people of the ‘Cité’ with the objectives of self help for the community, the development of cultural, social, and sporting activities, and the improvement of the quality of life for the people of the locality.

 

In February 2003, at a joint meeting of OMAT and Organisation Fraternelle, it was decided that OMAT would take the lead to get the project off the ground. Through Mr Bernard Perrine, an architect from Beau Bassin, Planning Permission was finally given by

the Municipality of Curepipe in February 2005.  Mr Perrine will also supervise the project.

 

Laying of the first stone

 

On Saturday, 28th May 2005, Paul Raymond Bérenger, the then Prime Minister of Mauritius, laid the first stone of a hall and crèche at ‘Cité Malherbes’ in Curepipe. This was the culmination of years of effort to get the planning permissions, and of course the necessary finance to build. 

 

 

In August 2005, OMAT (Mauritius) Ltd was incorporated as a Private Company limited by guarantee. The following year in January 2006, OMAT (Mauritius) applied to have the organisation's name on the land lease. 

 

We are pleased to inform you that to-day, Friday 13th June 2008, our organisation in Mauritius - OMAT ( Mauritius ) Ltd - has finally been granted the lease on a portion of State Land of 986.34m2  at Cité Malherbes Housing Estates in Curepipe.  The hard work now starts and we hope that some of the dreams of the inhabitants of Cité Malherbes will become reality.
