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

Masuwe Primary School is located in the village of Woodlands situated on the border of Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve within the Hwange district. The school serves approximately 150 children from ages of 5 through 14 years old. Situated in rural Zimbabwe, the school has no electricity and learners study by candle light in the evenings in order to pass their subjects. With limited infrastructure, the children share their classrooms with the schools livestock and still with all their restrictions the spirit amongst the teachers and children is sensational.
