Tools with a Mission is very grateful to its major supporters

 

The Aall Foundation

The Aall Foundation began major support of TWAM in 2019 and has continued its very generous support of our work.  Through a large annual unrestricted grant, the foundation is supporting the work of TWAM both within the UK and overseas.  Their support during 2020 will fund all our overseas team conferences in Uganda and Zambia for the next two years.  This vital conferences bring our teams and TWAM partner together to share our vision for TWAM, get important local input into that vision, plus provide training to support new developments and tasks.

 

The key development over the next two years will be the design of an Android phone app, which will allow applicants in Africa to easily apply for tools and track their application from their mobile phone.  There will be a second extended app used by our in-country team to process their applications.  All members of the in-country teams will also be provided with an Android tablet to use with the app.  This is a major step forward for TWAM and one we could not do without the support of the Aall Foundation.

 

The Aall Foundation

The Aall Foundation has its origins in Norway.  It was originally set up as the

Continental Foundation by the shipping magnate Mr Anders Jahre (right).  He was

known as a generous philanthropist, particularly in support of medical research. 

Following his death in 1982 and a protracted gathering of his assets and those

of the Continental Foundation, it was decided to transfer all funds to a new

foundation based in the Cayman Islands.  The Cayman Islands has many

prestigious investment banks specialises in fund-holding for major charitable

foundations.

 

The Aall Foundation were introduced to Tools with a Mission in 2019 by a long

term recipient of our tools.  We are very grateful for the foundations ongoing

support.
