We have learnt from experience that simply sending tools is not enough. The tools must be part of a larger development programme. Whilst we have the resources to develop programmes with a number of partners we are called upon to help many others. One solution to this ‘problem’ has been to supply refurbished tools to other organisations which complement programmes they are running.

Among the organisations we have supported with small quantifies of tools include Global Music with their Baka project, Mercy Ships with tools for building clinics in Benin, Men at the Side of the Road in South Africa and Harvest Help .

Due to the current political situation in Zimbabwe our work there has had to be suspended. We continue to monitor the situation closely.
