What to do with your sewing machines

Tools for Self Reliance (TFSR) supports workers in some of the world's poorest countries. They help grassroots development projects in Africa by providing refurbished hand tools and sewing machines.

TFSR volunteers around the United Kingdom ship tools worth more than £500,000 each year to partner organisations in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Mozambique, Sierra Leone and Ghana. From the Orkneys to the Channel Islands, there are nearly 70 groups refurbishing tools and 100 tool collection points.

The Tools for Self Reliance main office is at:
