GAP, the UK's largest independent PVC-U stockist, is launching an online ordering service to all it's customers
Dave Cappell, owner of Cappell Joinery, explains what they did: "There were eleven 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.
"As well as the building work we arranged for the water company to lay a pipe to the village, but first the quarter mile trench had to be dug.
It took four men a whole day to complete, and it makes a big difference to so many lives.
The villagers now have pumped water, and a purpose built school and toilets.
"We would like to say thank you to GAP for helping us help the people of Arusha.".
