Africa Expedition Support - Pack for a Purpose

Visiting orphanages

Pack for a Purpose does not condone visiting orphanages, as this can often lead to negative impacts on children. The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description

In addition to Napenda Solar Community, our solar power project, we also support around 300 children at our local schools in rural Kajiado, Kenya. We believe the two go hand in hand, while homes are being connected to solar power so school children can study, the majority don’t have basic educational resources.
