The Liverpool GAP PVC-U warehouse supported customer D Cappell Joinery and Maintenance on a charity project in Africa.

GAP supplied hand tools, tape measures and t-shirts for the trip to build a new school.

Dave Cappell, owner of Cappell Joinery, explained: ‘There were 11 volunteers and we were in Arusha, Tanzania for nearly three weeks. We built two classrooms, an office and two sets of toilets as well as organising a water pipe from the main road.

‘We went to several of our suppliers with a list of what we needed to complete the project. And they donated what we asked for. A project like this depends on many people giving time, tools and products free of charge. Everyone from the village worked alongside us.

‘We also arranged for the water company to lay a pipe to the village. The villagers now have pumped water, and a purpose built school and toilets.’
