In 2024 York Rotary were involved a project collecting unwanted tools for Tools With a Mission.

​

Tools with a Mission collect unwanted tools, they refurbish the tools where required and they they send the tools out to Africa where they are used for training purposes.

​

Tools are sent to the following countries:

• Zambia

• Uganada

• Zimbabwe

• Tanzania

• Malawi

• DR Congo

​

The tools are sorted into kits which are sent to be used for training/livelihood creation.  Tools with a Mission work with local charities to make sure that the tools are used where they are needed.

​

In 2023 Tools with a Mission sent the equivalent of 20 standard 2--foot containers to Africa.  The contents comprised 15,518 tool kits.  This is very useful work and as well as providing tools kits it also saves those otherwise unused tools from going into landfill.
