Visit their websiteOn Friday 8 September, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco. The epicentre was in the High Atlas Mountains, approximately 70 kilometres south of Marrakech. The teams at Kasbah Tamadot and The Eve Branson Foundation worked quickly to lead a coordinated response on the ground, providing emergency shelter, food and water to those worst affected.
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.
