Overseas/developing countries

The Leprosy Mission NI is a Christian development organisation that works to cure, care for and restore leprosy affected people, families and communities. We work in more than 30 countries world wide. Our vision is Leprosy Defeated, Lives Transformed.

TFS supports self-reliance by providing high quality refurbished tools to working people overseas, promoting international solidarity, and challenging global inequalities through critical examination of development issues, environmental sustainability and ethical working practices. Underlying all the activities of Tools for Solidarity are the principles and values of self help and empowerment, individual and global equality, environmental awareness, inclusiveness, voluntarism, and the right to challenge/oppose activities/actions that contradict these values.

TFS works for a more sustainable world through practical solidarity with people in some of the poorest countries in the world. This is achieved by shipping out high quality tools and sewing machines to artisan groups.Tools For Solidarity
