Apply for tools
Temporary suspension of applications.
Please note that due to extremely high demand and internal streamlining of operations, we have temporarily suspended tool applications for Zambia.
Our container schedule for 2025 is completely full. Please continue to be patient, and check this page towards the end of this year for updates.
We do ask that you contribute towards the cost of preparing your tools, so please think about this when applying.
We do not charge for specific tools or tool kits, but we do ask that you contribute a small amount towards the UK cost of collecting, refurbishing and packing the tools we send to Africa.
The Online Application form above will show you the cost of the tools you are applying for. Before completing your application, please think about the cost and whether you can afford it. If you cannot, please reduce the number of tools you are applying for at this time to a cost you can afford. You can apply again another time for more tools. By applying for less tools rather than waiting to raise a larger amount, you will not have to wait so long for the delivery of the tools you need.
