Getting your company involved

Partner with Us 

Looking for a meaningful way to engage your employees and give back?

At Tools for Self Reliance, we’ve been working for 45 years to transform lives through training, entrepreneurship, and opportunity. Our projects support people in Africa to build sustainable livelihoods by providing trade training, business know-how, and tools to help them create lasting change for themselves and their communities. 

We’re inviting companies like yours to be part of this journey, helping us create working futures, while offering your team a rewarding way to make a real-world impact. 

Why Support Us? 

Partnering with Tools for Self Reliance is more than a good deed, it’s a chance to: 

Make a real impact 

Help people build sustainable livelihoods, gain confidence, and achieve greater independence through hands-on training and enterprise support.

Strengthen your company’s social value

Show your commitment to sustainability, social impact, and ethical business.

Engage and inspire your team 

Offer employees a hands-on experience that builds morale, purpose, and connection. 

This is a brilliant opportunity for companies seeking ways to support a charity, boost CSR credentials, and align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 

How Your Company Can Get Involved 

There are many ways for your business and team to support our work, whether you’re looking for a one-off opportunity or a long-term partnership: 

Become a charity partner
Choose us as your Charity of the Year and we’ll work with you to build a tailored partnership with impact stories, and employee engagement opportunities. 

Donate or sponsor
From equipment donations and corporate giving to event sponsorship or match funding – your support helps us reach more trainees and grow our programmes. 

Fundraise as a team
Take part in a workplace challenge, organise a company-wide fundraiser, or offer auction prizes, whatever fits your company culture. 

Volunteer with us
Bring your team to our Southampton workshop for a hands-on volunteering day. Build toolkits, pack crates, and experience the practical side of our work. It’s a great team-building exercise that connects your staff directly with the impact they’re helping create. 

Connect with our African partners
Join a live Zoom call with one of our local project partners to hear firsthand how your support is changing lives. It’s a powerful and inspiring way to understand the difference you’re making.
