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.

The Sumba Foundation was founded in 2001 and strives to provide humanitarian aid by fostering village-based projects that impact health (including services and malaria control), education, water, and income-generation, all while preserving and respecting the fragile culture and traditions of the Sumbanese people.
