Unverified non-profit organisation

Tools for Self Reliance is a small UK based charity working to help relieve poverty in Africa. Self Reliance’s vision is a world free of poverty, where people can use their own skills and energies to meet their needs and aspirations. Their mission is to contribute to poverty reduction in Africa by working with their partner organisations and supporters in the UK to empower people to build viable and sustainable livelihoods through the delivery of technical, business and life skills training and through the provision of tools for their trades.

It was envisioned as being a practical way to support artisans and craftworkers in some of the poorest parts of the world. Although raising awareness and campaigning are integral parts of what they do, they also specialise in promoting the availability and use of basic hand tools and providing the vocational skills and business training rural craftworkers and artisans need to earn a livelihood.
