We aim to provide practical assistance to vocational training centres and self-help schemes working with some of the world's most disadvantaged communities, mainly in East Africa.
We achieve this by collecting and refurbishing unwanted tools and equipment in the UK and supplying the items to approved projects overseas.
We believe in tackling the causes of poverty by enabling people to help themselves, giving them the opportunity to become self reliant and build a better future for themselves and their families.
We offer fulfilling work to volunteers in the UK and protect the environment by recycling items which would otherwise be thrown away.
