Giving hope to communities
Support the journey of our tools!

Will you partner with us this spring?
Our toolkits have an enormous impact, providing new skills and creating approximately 50 new livelihoods a day. Often they bring change for the better to whole families!​
TWAM has grown by almost 100% in many aspects over the last five years. In 2024, 18,500 kits and large machines were sent, and we aim to surpass that number this year. The demand for tools has never been greater - but the cost of sending tools has also risen.
​
We aim to send the equivalent of four additional containers this year—that’s an additional 2,000 toolkits. In supporting our 2025 spring appeal, you will be directly supporting the journey of these toolkits.
Each one will give new hope to the individuals and organisations in the developing world who receive them.
​​​​​​​​​
We are grateful for every gift - whether large or small. Whatever you might choose to give, your support enables us to rescue old tools from landfill, give them a new home, and provide hope for those in need.
​​
All donations will be used towards the costs of shipping tools to Africa.
Meet Amon
Emmanuel is a former bricklayer at Apostolic Faith Church Carpentry, a Zambian training organisation that provides work and new skills for unemployed men. He tells us that learning carpentry gives him another way to earn money. Bricklaying is hard work, and cement can be harmful - he now wants to build a new life on carpentry.
​
The Apostolic Faith Church Carpentry group has been using TWAM-supplied tools for many years. Their secretary, Larceford (pictured above), says "skills are what will make me a full human being; they will help me to find a way to live." Their work is testament to the power of tools to change lives for the better.
​
Environmental chaos, and the resulting economic instability, means more and more organisations are looking to groups like TWAM to help support them with tools. Our Spring Appeal aims to fund sending an extra four containers this year, which will support countless causes and help give men like Amon a new start.
​
Comfort, stability, purpose, wellbeing, and friendship - all of these invaluable things can be provided by the skills of using a tool. Will you help us effect this change?
