Accommodation

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

Chumbe Island Coral Park (CHICOP) is the first privately managed marine protected area in the world, fully funded through ecotourism. For the past three decades, CHICOP has been running an extensive Environmental Education program, which is the only regular and large-scale program in Tanzania that fills this gap in school curricula. One day field excursions to Chumbe Island have been offered to more than 12,247 participants including over 9,070 students, 1,469 teachers and 1,761 community members. The excursions provide hands-on environmental education focusing on marine biology, forest ecology and sustainable tourism. Most of the participants come from local secondary schools and often swim for the first time in their lives during their visit to Chumbe Island.
