Pay US$1 per year to the Treasurer of your Residents’ Committee in your suburb. The HRT has standard receipt books for your convenience.

If there is no residents’ committee in your area, you do the following;

1. If there is a Residents Committee already, simply pay your Subscription of US$20 to the HRT Treasurer/ Secretary or deposit your money into the HRT Account Number: 0240059076502 at Minerva Branch, Stanbic Bank
2. Bring together at least 12 people, who are not political activists, in your suburb drawn from different areas.
3. Call any of the numbers given below and invite them to come to your area for a brief induction on the HRT way of doing things.
4. An interim committee, which will serve for at most three months, is established.
5. After the three months, public elections are conducted by the Board of Trustees and the HRT Membership Committee.
6. A substantive committee is then formed and you become a part of the HRT family of suburban structures, independent from each other but united for quality service provision.
