Late last year we bid farewell to a container of refurbished tools which is on its way to our partners, the Network of Local Artisans (NOLA) and the Uganda Rural Development and Training Programme (UDRT). This shipment is the result of a successful tool appeal, and awareness raising and fundraising effort masterminded by Ian Care of the Derby group, with the Diocese of Derby.

After the last of the toolkits has been unloaded and distributed to the artisan groups in and around Kasese, the container will have one more function to fulfil. As part of NOLA’s artisan capacity building programme, which is being supported by TFSR, the Derby container is to be converted into an office and a secure store.
