Why is it that the less money one contributes the larger the Grant ratio is?

This programme is aimed at helping poor people. The grant scale is therefore designed in a way that the less money one has, the bigger the grant to own contribution ratio one will receive compared to what someone with a bigger contribution will receive.

What are the Minimum and the Maximum Amount that one can get and what is the corresponding Own Contribution?

A minimum amount of R20 000 will require a minimum own contribution amount (cash or in-kind) of R5 000 and a maximum of R100 000 will require a maximum own contribution amount of R400 000. Between the minimum and maximum amounts, there is a continuum of grant amounts, depending on the participant's own contribution (see scale of grant and own contribution).
