Tools with a Mission [TWAM]

The Chichester TWAM team have continued to collect and refurbish tools for TWAM in a limited way as we observe restrictions. Click here to see some familiar faces! Many donors have delivered to one of our workshops and many have had the time to clear out garages and sheds. HQ at Ipswich sent a container to Zambia last week and are preparing another. There are heartening and life changing stories on the web site where we have our own page.

Here is just one example of a good news story directly as a result of TWAM’s work…

Janet a Ugandan women, learned tailoring and received a TWAM sewing machine and an accompanying haberdashery sewing pack with enough supplies to get her micro-business going until she could finance more for herself.
Janet didn’t just think of her own livelihood. She heard through a friend that a girl in a neighbouring village whose husband died had been kicked out of the village with her two children and left with no means of support. Janet took her in and also trained her to sew and together they have grown a business. Their business is thriving and the result is a new building to house their growing business and two families with a sustainable income and a future full of hope and potential. What a great example of breaking free from poverty and serving your community. Your donation of tools, time or finance supports individuals, families and communities.
