ETC Team Gives 4,000 Bobbins a New Purpose

At ETC Supplies, we believe even the smallest items can make a meaningful difference.

We recently donated more than 4,000 bobbins of ETC thread to three inspiring charities: Workaid, Tools with a Mission (TWAM) and Tools for Self Reliance. These organisations help equip schools, training centres and communities across Africa with practical tools and valuable resources.

Supporting Skills and Brighter Futures

Access to the right equipment can open the door to education, employment and greater self-reliance. Our donated threads can support sewing and textile projects through which people develop practical skills, create useful products and pursue new opportunities.

By working with charities that understand the needs of local communities, these materials can be put to good use where they have the potential to create lasting value.

Sustainability in Action

The donation also reflects our commitment to making more responsible use of our resources. Giving surplus stock a second life keeps usable materials from going to waste while supporting organisations doing important work.

It is a simple idea: when something still has value, find a way for it to benefit someone else.

A Team Effort

We are proud of everyone who helped prepare and organise the donation, and grateful to Workaid, TWAM and Tools for Self Reliance for their dedication. Their work helps people gain practical skills, build confidence and create more secure futures.

We look forward to continuing to support worthwhile initiatives and finding new ways to combine community impact with sustainability.
