Into Africa - 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

The Dassenberg Outreach Project provides 20 pupils per year with Animal Therapy. Therapists use the healing power of animals to reach out to vulnerable youths, many of whom are young girls that have experienced trauma as a result of gangster-ism. The aim is to help them reach their full potential in life. This project is locally funded through the sale of quality second-hand clothing in an attempt to ensure it’s sustainability.
