girl swaddling her baby sibling. One rarely sees men and women together including husbands and wives, and Over the past two weeks we have really begun to develop a deeper sense of the way things work around here. We have a much broader understanding of community life, family life and the experience of the individual. For example the community truly sticks together, defending members and chasing away those that have caused trouble. Within the family, older siblings take care of oneanother, in fact a common site is seeing a 12 year oldif they are they almost never touch in public. On the whole, our lessons learned will be invaluable to our Goods for Good’s projects on the horizon. In fact we have learned about several schools in the area that have a severe shortage of supplies. Lack of supplies are a particular problem for orphans and vulnerable children, because many parents and caregivers cannot afford to purchase supplies for the children. This is a very clear fit for Goods for Good and we are in the process of exploring different ways that we might be able to provide in kind-support to several public schools.

Goods for Good turns excess into progress. We collect surplus goods for targeted distribution to vulnerable children in Africa.
Through partnerships with companies in the United States and caregivers in Africa, we are able to provide much needed school supplies, clothing and health and hygiene products to children in crisis, while at the same time reducing waste at home.
Goods for Good is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization
