Story

This is the charity where my brother in law, Stewart Morrison, worked as a volunteer for many years. He was a natural mechanical engineer with a love of motorcyles - Hondas - and a willingness to help people with his skills.
His wife, Brigid my sister, lived in East Africa from a very young child. Therefore this wonderful charity fulfills the role of remembering them both: practical help and Africa.

So if Stewart helped you or repaired your bike when you were a kid here is a great way to say thank you.

Tools for Self Reliance - https://www.tfsr.org/
The last few weeks have changed the world. For you, for your family, and for everyone.We had planned a year of 40th anniversary events, bringing people together to raise vital funds. But we have now made the difficult, but necessary decision to cancel these. This is essential to keeping the country safe, but devastating for us and the people we support because money raised at events gets tools to people who need them most.We know this is an incredibly difficult time for everybody, but if you can, please make a gift today. Your donation will mean that those who already live in the most challenging of situations under normal circumstances, will have the tools they need to combat the impact that coronavirus will have on their livelihoods.Life skills, taught as part of our vocational training projects, have never been more important than they are today.Your donation will mean that more people are able to start earning an income, and can get back on their feet again.
