We receive hundreds of requests for tools and funds to train and equip the African artisans who take part in our programmes; we support the fight against poverty in Africa by increasing community awareness about the causes and consequences of poverty; we connect our members via our newsletters and website, and events.

All this takes money! Thanks to the efforts of all our supporters we are continuing to meet the challenge. But WE NEED YOU to ensure we keep doing so.

Raising money by getting sponsored for Tools for Self Reliance is a valuable contribution to our cause. Not only can you make a real difference to the lives of thousands of people living in poverty, but it can be challenging and fun too! There are lots of things you can do. Check out our Volunteer Fundraising Handbook (available here) for ideas.

It’s never been easier to set up your own online fundraising page whether you’re taking part in an event or organising one of your own. And with Gift Aid we can make your efforts go even further – every little helps! Once you’ve set up your page, make it personal by adding your own message and a photo. Check that your page details are correct – then away you go!
