Raissa Verpalen, Community Manager at Draper Tools, along with some colleagues, visited our workshop recently to present the cheque, and commented: “We are so proud to support Tools for Self Reliance and the incredible work they do. As a business, we’re passionate about both tools and empowering people to work with them for a better future. It’s been an honour to get to know staff and volunteers at the charity and be part of their efforts to relieve poverty and create sustainable changes in Africa.”
Draper Tools kindly donated tools and items that help us in the workshop to refurbish tools that we send to trainees when they graduate from their vocational training on our projects
We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generous support of Draper Tools, and thrilled to be their charity partner. We are looking forward to working with them, and sharing how their support is making a difference to our training projects.
