Want to do a bit more for local communities when travelling abroad?
For those heading off on an unforgettable safari holiday or a dream Africa honeymoon, Pack For A Purpose is an easy way for holidaymakers visiting Africa to make a big impact on the deprived local schools. All it takes is some luggage space to bring over much needed pens, educational books, posters, medicines and sports equipment which will be provided to local schools – making a huge impact on the lives of hundreds of African children.
