Tools For Self Reliance.
Stephen Edwards (a partner in New House Oak) is keen to promote Tools for Self Reliance. The idea is to make poverty history in Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, etc. by donating tools, or money to buy tools to help people in these countries use skills to create an income within their community. If you place a hammer and an anvil into a village and train a blacksmith, tools can be made to enable others to make clothes, shoes, wooden items and so on. If we provide sewing machines and basic woodworking tools, then the village is able to create its own income, helping to making poverty history. We can help kick start this process with comparitively small donations, making a big difference to their communities. If you are local then please drop unwanted tools at the workshop but it is wise to have a look at the Tools for Self Reliance website, as they specify the tools that are of most use to them. Alternatively, there are places all over the country that will accept tools on their behalf. Donations can be given directly to them at their main office. For more details, please contact 023 8086 9697.
