Many hardworking tailors and seamstresses in Tanzania and Uganda are in better shape thanks to the business training that they have received through our projects. But there is a problem – many of those we want to support lack basic tools for the job, like a decent pair of dressmaker’s scissors.

Right now we are experiencing a surge in demand for heavy duty scissors and tailors shears – demand which we’re struggling to keep up with. We are dependent on tool donations in the UK for all the scissors we send to Africa. Can you help?

It doesn’t matter where you live. Phone us on 023 8086 9697 and we will put you in touch with your local tool Tools for Self Reliance tool collector. Thank you!
