Over 120 garden centres collected unwanted garden tools to help
subsistence farmers in places like Uganda and Angola. Wyevale's Tools Amnesty
in February 2008 invited customers to donate old, but usable tools.
In just one week, tools such as hoes, rakes, spades, forks and trowels
flooded in - these basic tools are in desperately short supply in parts
of the world like Uganda and Angola; FTC is supporting communities
driven from their land by conflict, who now need help to re-establish
their farms. By providing seeds, tools and agricultural training, FTC is
encouraging the development of the skills that lead to sustainability
and independence. In return for donating an old tool, Wyevale
customers received a discount of 20% discount on a new tool. To discuss how your company could support Feed The Children, please
