Tools For Solidarity

In the era of consumerism, repairing is an act of rebellion. Tools For Solidarity is a non-profit organisation in Northern Ireland that runs entirely by volunteers. We are actively working towards equitable distribution of power and resources in the world. Our charity supports artisans in the poorest countries of the world by providing high quality refurbished hand tools, sewing machines and training through local refurbishment centres within the regions themselves. The main message of our cause is, "In the struggle to develop, bare hands are not enough." We believe that this act of solidarity enables local people to have technical skills and knowledge to be more self reliant. We have the Education for Sustainabilty Development Program as well which creates awareness about poverty, global injustice and environmental issues through primary schools and community groups.
