Membership of the SOLhelp Development Co-operatives is based on a few criteria and steps.

Criteria

You must:

1. be a South African Citizen
2. be over 16 years of age

Steps

Firstly, you need to be a member of the RESCUE Exchange. You can join the RESCUE Exchange by purchasing a membership package for R100 once-off and pay via EFT. Once payment has been received, your membership will be activated, and you will have lifetime access to the RESCUE Exchange and to the Regenerative Systems Design Course — RSD Course.

Secondly, especially while SOLhelp is in it’s start-up phase, you should start studying the RSD Course. Why? Minimum levels of qualification of the RSD Course need to be completed to qualify for ownership in Equity Pact developments.

Thirdly, once SOLhelp has over 1,000 members, then you will need to join a SOLhelp Development Co-operative. The cost of your co-operative share will be R1,000 upfront or R50 per month for 24 months. You may sell your share at any time.

Fourthly, you will soon be able to start working part-time on projects of the development co-operative to get SOL tokens, or if you are indigent, you may qualify to work on RegenCAN projects so that you can earn a basic wage. See Volunteer with SOLhelp or Working on SOLhelp Projects. If you would like to earn discounts and / or get scholarships for studying and earning qualifications in prescribed third-party courses of the RSD Course — including masters degrees, then you will need to volunteer to get RE tokens!

Fifthly, you will hopefully reach the point of being able to own your own business or business share and / or property share — as a business owner, farmer, wildlife conservationist, grazing pastoralist or as a retiree!!!. This will normally take from around 6 months to 2 years.
