Fawlty Towers - 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

Fawlty Towers partners with The Happy Africa Foundation, a UK (1123529) and Zambian (ORS/102/53/267) registered charity, which works with community schools in Livingstone serving over 2,550 teaching children from ages 7 through15 years old. These schools receive little funding from the government and struggle to provide adequate teaching support and the necessary school equipment for the students. Our partnership with Happy Africa helps to provide additional resources to the local schools as well as helps to promote the Happy Africa’s interactive programs for travelers interested in volunteering in the local communities for either a half-day or a full day.

Project Description

The Welfare Concern Initiative (ORS / 102 / 53 / 204) runs small-scale, sustainable projects to help sponsor local children to go to school. They currently have two chicken runs with 350 chicks, but are hoping to produce 500 chicks a month to sell to hotels and restaurants in Livingstone. They also generate valuable income from their tailoring project to make children’s school uniforms.
