Huon She Shed
The Huon She Shed, Inc is a non-profit organisation that aims to provide a safe, inclusive environment for women of all ages, backgrounds, identities and capabilities where they can gather and learn basic building, metal working and wood working skills. Our goal is to upskill women and give them the confidence to be able to undertake their own minor repairs, as they may not have access to tools or know how to use them. But we need support for a range of non-electric hand tools to establish a "library" of tools for the members to use in the Shed and through a borrowing/lending system.
$1,000 will help us secure a number of these necessary tools that members can use in a safe, secure, learning and nurturing environment whilst learning skills to build confidence, become independent and carry out their own minor repair work without having to call an expensive and often difficult to find trades person.
