It's rarely possible to keep websites completely up-to-date so if you want to know something specific, please feel completely free to call us for an update - we love talking to our supporters!

Welcome to the TASTE website - the home of the Christian charity that takes the unusual name of Transfer of Appropriate Sustainable Technology & Expertise.

TASTE is a member of BOND, the UK's broadest network of voluntary organisations working in international development, and a participant in BOND's Water Network. In Nigeria, TASTE is a member of CRUDAN (Christian Rural and Urban Development Association of Nigeria). Our primary focus is on working with communities in activities which demonstrate practical Christian values. At present, most of our time is taken up with small scale water and sanitation projects, helping rural communities to gain access to clean drinking water.

Do you want help with a project in Nigeria ... or do you want advice about how to get ahead with your own project ... perhaps you want to offer help ...either way, feel free to browse and then use the contact us link or the phone and we'll talk with you about your ideas.

Our rig is very poorly..... well, Rocky is almost human ... but he is very old!

Have you tried the TASTE Recycling Challenge yet? Research has shown that £1,000s are literally thrown away each year because people can't be bothered with very small coins. 'Shrapnel ' sits on bedside tables, accumulates down the side of the sofa and clogs up ladies purses.

There's a Challenge to recycle these coins and help TASTE help vulnerable communities. Simply click on the picture of the woman and her children for further information. As you do so, imagine yourself shepherding a gang of under fives to the stream every day!
