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
Fawlty Towers partners with The Happy Africa Foundation, a UK (1123529) and Zambian (ORS/102/53/267) registered charity, which works with community schools in Livingstone serving over 2,550 teaching children from ages 7 through15 years old.
These schools receive little funding from the government and struggle to provide adequate teaching support and the necessary school equipment for the students.
Our partnership with Happy Africa helps to provide additional resources to the local schools as well as helps to promote the Happy Africa’s interactive programs for travelers interested in volunteering in the local communities for either a half-day or a full day.

Project Description
The Welfare Concern Initiative (ORS / 102 / 53 / 204) runs small-scale, sustainable projects to help sponsor local children to go to school.
