At the end of June, Tools for Self Reliance welcolmed Esther Mohammed and Rahama Mohammed from our PROLINK and GIGDEV partners in Ghana. During their stay they undertook training in sewing machine refurbishment with volunteers at the Netley Marsh headquarters.

In July, Mr Martin Changa, regional manager of SIDO Rukwa, and Mr Renatus Chasuka, a blacksmith who has taken part in the first phase of our Blacksmith Training Programme, travelled to the UK in order to complete further blacksmithing training and help Tools for Self Reliance at the New Forest Show.
