Other Organisations

We have learned 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.

We currently have such programmes in place with Men at the Side of the Road in South Africa, and we are developing one with Harvest Help and Trax Ghana in northern Ghana

We have supported smaller organisations with small quantifies of tools. Examples include Global Music with their Baka project and Mercy Ships with tools for building clinics in Benin.
