If you are choosing to Pack for a Purpose and bring supplies for the projects listed on this page, it is essential that you contact your tour provider or safari camp. They can provide you with the important changes to the customs regulations currently in place in Botswana. These changes may impact your donation process. At Pack for a Purpose, we want to ensure that your experience is as pleasant as possible, as we are grateful for your generous hearts and the desire to give back to the communities you visit.

If you would prefer us to source some of the items locally, you are able to make a secure online payment on our website - www.bushwaysfoundation.com. Then email foundation@bushways.com indicating what items you would like to us to use the funds for, and we will purchase them on your behalf.
