We’ve recently received some face coverings to help everyone be safe and compliant with the new rules.  These lovely masks are made by Tunaweza in Mwanza. They are washable and are double thickness cotton.

Tunaweza is a vocational training centre for youngsters with a disability in Mwanza, on the south shore of Lake Victoria in Tanzania. Tunaweza means “We can” or “We are able”. They teach tailoring and other skills, and TFSR Cymru has provided them with sewing machines over the past few years. At present they are fund-raising for their new centre which will enable them to help more young people.

They are an innovative group and raise funds by selling various products. Now we are able to provide you with their latest product, Fair Trade face masks, double thickness and in bright Tanzanian colours. These are available here for £6.50 inc P&P
