TOOLS

Do you want to start a small business in your country?

Or perhaps you will join a family business or work with a friend? Could you use some suitable materials or equipment? You do not want to go back empty-handed? Then join WorldTools.

How

do we help?

If you have an idea of how you could make a living in your home country, we can collect tools and materials to help you get started. After your return we ship these in a big box to your home country. The aim is to generate income as soon as possible. In some countries we have a transport partner who can also get the box through customs. In those cases the box, transport and clearance are free of charge for you. In other countries where we don’t have a transport partner, we provide the box and transport fees. The best option might be to take extra luggage with you on the plane. That is always possible. The list of countries with a transport partner is subject to change, so get in touch to learn what offer we have for you.

Which materials?

That depends on you. Your plans and ideas are most important. We have secondhand machines, tools and equipment that we can donate to you and if necessary we can buy new items from your budget to help you with your new start. The items we can donate depend on what we have in stock and what we can receive as donations.

“Being able to bring sewing machines to set up a workshop with my sister made all the difference.” Kasim, Uganda

Budget

The budget returnees receive is set by the Dutch government and is the same nationwide. It doesn’t matter which return project you choose. Because the amount is subject to change, it is best to contact us for the current amounts provided.

Courses

We offer a six week intensive welding course and a three week solar power installation course for people who want to learn some skills before they return. We provide travel expenses and overnight stays with a host family if necessary. We offer those courses two times a year. Get in touch to learn when the next one starts.

Our successes!

We have helped more than 700 people in 55 different countries. From a welding workshop to the hiring out of bridal clothes, hairdressing, carpentry, a tattoo shop, chicken farming, solar power installation and a copying business for a legal office. Every person in the program had his or her own plan.

Who can we help?

We can help asylum seekers, refugees and those who are here illegally who wish to return to their own country and require some assistance with special skills or materials. The Dutch government provides a list of countries where we can assist to.

We work with the IOM

IOM takes care of your journey home and assists with your travel documents. They make sure that you can spend the money in your home country upon your return.
