Tools for Empowerment

Changing Lives: One Tool at a Time

Since 1991, ASAP has empowered thousands of women and youth; providing training and tools to help families become self-reliant. Today, at our tool recycling center in Newnan GA.  Tools For Empowement keeps valuable tools and equipment out of landfills and puts them directly into the hands of vocational school graduates around the world.  

Who We Are

ASAP, A Self-help Assistance Program, was created by two Peace Corps volunteers that were teaching in rural Swaziland. There they met and married. Teaching the poorest of the poor to become more self-reliant is their passion and the driving force behind ASAP.
