TWAM – Improving lives with unwanted tools

Tools with a Mission (TWAM) is a UK-based charity that collects unwanted tools, refurbishes them and then sends them to overseas projects across Africa. Founded in 1993, its mission is to help local communities to lift themselves out of poverty by providing them with life transforming tools. Each year TWAM sends around 22 containers filled with over 300 tonnes of tools.

Tools for the trade.

TWAM’s team of dedicated volunteers carefully restore tools before sorting them into a wide variety of trade kits. These kits are shipped in large containers to Africa where TWAM works with over 400 small charities and church organisations, many of which run training programmes such as mechanics courses and dress making classes.

Supporting TWAM.

Owls Hall is a proud supporter of the TWAM initiative. We’ve donated a 20ft container located at our head office at Owls Hall Farm, Essex to help store unwanted tools. Our team of engineers are available to collect tools from customers as part of any site visit.

In addition to donating and collecting unwanted tools Owls Hall also donates £10 to TWAM following every customer installation.
