About Tools With a Mission:

We usually send 18 containers filled with around 225 tonnes of tools every year, keeping them out of UK landfills. We invest in local people supporting their own communities through livelihood creating projects such as skills training centres. 

We have sent tools to 17 countries across the world. Now we focus our efforts on livelihood creation in Sub-Saharan Africa.

A Longer Journey, a Higher Cost: Help Us Empower More People in Africa

The journey of hope has become longer, but our commitment remains unwavering. The recent crisis in the Red Sea has dramatically impacted shipping routes, adding weeks to delivery times and pushing shipping costs up by £2,500 per container.

Despite these challenges, we are extremely pleased that in 2023, we shipped 20 containers, delivering 15,158 life-transforming tool kits and machines to communities across Africa.

This year, we are aiming even higher. We plan to ship 22 containers, reaching over 17,000 individuals with the tools they need to build a brighter future. This expansion will include our first delivery to Malawi, the seventh poorest country in the world, and Burundi, currently ranked as the world's second poorest. Rising costs shouldn't deter us from extending this vital support.

Together, we can overcome these challenges and continue our mission to equip individuals across Africa. Your support, no matter the size, can make a world of difference.
