Accommodation
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
Xplicaçao de Ari. is an education project that helps benefit children in the neighborhood of Ribeira Bote on the Island of São Vicente. Children only go to school half a day, so they need extra attention to get the education they need. Ribeira Bote is a very difficult neighborhood, with many children dropping out of school because parents can’t afford school supplies.
