Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge - 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 2010 Nshupu schoolteachers William and Sarah Modest founded the Precious Orphans Children’s Home, leaving secure jobs to pursue their mission to help those orphaned by AIDS. In 2012, William and Sarah formed a partnership with some concerned U.S. citizens and the nonprofit, Precious Project, was formed. Together they expanded the Children’s Home which now houses 23 children who live together with caring adults as a loving family.
