Morukuru Family De Hoop
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
Nuwerus Nasorg Centre is located in the quaint village of Napier. Beverly Doveton and her dedicated team operate a number of different projects within their community from the centre. Primarily starting as an after school care facility for children whose parents could not afford for someone to look after their children in the afternoon, Nuwerus has become a beacon of hope for the community. They offer a safehouse to children that are sexually molested and abused within the community. They also have a feeding programme, whereby they distribute food parcels to those in need.
