Koha to support getting restored guitars into the hands of kids learning to play

$300 donated
Given by 5 generous donors in around 7 months

We take donated guitars (in any state) repair & restore them, then donate to local schools and kids that need them.

Birkdale, Auckland

3LR Guitars run a pay-it-forward program where if you donate your old guitar to us, we will repair and restore it free of charge, then gift it to a local school to get it into the hands of a learner.

Use of funds

Restoring guitars requires parts and materials. Some can be re-used from other guitars, some need to be purchased. All koha is used only for our donated guitars.

Today we dropped in 2 guitars to the local college, one repaired guitar and one donation.

The donated guitar came from Jason (Thanks Jas!!) as an old family guitar that has seen better days. But now its fixed, cleaned up and has gone into rotation at the music dept of our local college.
