Lilayi 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

Shantumbu school, founded in 1959, serves over 2600 children aged five to eighteen years. The school is in the Shantumbu ward in Kafue district. The school has a total of 24 primary and secondary school teachers. The school doesn’t have a proper infrastructure for pupils or enough desks to cater for the increasing population. Most infrastructure is for the primary school students. The secondary school only has two classroom blocks which are not enough to cater for all the pupils. The school has no laboratories for subjects such as computer science and math.
