Accommodation
Visit their websitePack 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
The Hananani Primary School is located in a small village called Dixie which only has 1,000 households. Children from this community used to have to walk kilometers to the nearest primary school in search of education. The Hananani Primary School opened in January 1983 and provides education to students from ages 5 through 13 years old. Seven teachers educate more than 220 children in a variety of subjects, including English, Mathematics, Life Skills/ Life Orientation, Technology, Natural/Social/Economic Sciences and Creative Arts.
