To collect and refurbish tools and equipment no longer required in the UK and sending them overseas.

Tools With A Mission (TWAM) started twenty five years ago, and has since then given this help by collecting and refurbishing tools and equipment no longer required in the UK and sending them overseas. TWAM was the brainchild of John Bennett of Waterlooville. A teacher by profession, John became involved in getting together a collection of tools to support the agricultural development work being carried out in Zaire (as it was then) by the late David Stockley. John discovered that tools were badly needed and soon involved pupils from his school collecting all kinds of agricultural tools. Under his direct supervision the pupils cleaned, renovated and painted the tools ready to go to Zaire. In many countries of the world people have few skills, little education and no means of earning a living. A switch from aid dependency to self sufficiency is impossible without help.
