Who we are

Empowering Young People In Africa Through Vocational Training

We are a charity based in Chesham, Buckinghamshire empowering young people in Africa (and the UK) to help themselves by developing the skills and knowledge needed to find gainful employment or start their own business. We do this by refurbishing donated tools to a high standard and shipping them to training centres and self-help organisations.

• In the re-use and recycling of the world’s resources
• In the benefits of volunteering
• In the practice of non-discrimination, respect and equality of opportunity for all
