Re Palestinian Action:This week Yvette Cooper, home secretary, decried its “long history of unacceptable criminal damage” and claimed: “Its methods have become more aggressive, with its members demonstrating a willingness to use violence.”
Same could be said of Greenpeace - difference? Skin colour

We could do with a volunteer or two to help out at our stall. Nice day out and plenty of free time to explore the other stalls. Please email us on contact@tfarcymru.org.uk if you can help. Diolch

What tools do we sell?
1. Tools not requested in Tanzania, eg gardening tools
2. Antique tools for which spare parts are not generally available
3. Tools that are not robust enough for a busy workshop in Tanzania
4. Tools that are in little demand and we have too many in stock, eg Junior hacksaws.

The first event of 2025!
Come a browse and even buy the gardening tools you need for the forthcoming season. www.eatsleepliveherefordshire.co.uk/event-pro/he...

Each trainee receives a certificate following a successful completion of the course. This is very much appreciated and valued.

If you have an old black Singer a sewing machine gathering dust in your attic or feeling unused in your home why not help change a rural tailors livelihood by donating it to TFSR Cymru.

Our new workshop at Kalwande College was inaugurated in October funded by us from the sale of refurbished garden tools bought by the public. Diolch yn fawr pawb!

Our latest shipping container will be leaving soon for Dar es Salaam filled to the brim with tools of all description and a couple of hundred sewing machines. These will be refurbished by our wonderful staff at Kalwande and distributed to the more rural parts of Lake Zone, Tanzania.

In common with many others we hope our new home on BlueSky is a success. We work to address poverty in the less developed parts of Tanzania, providing tools and training to artisans. #ToolsChangeLivelihoods
