Case Study: Pack for a Purpose achieves reliable delivery of donations to remote communities with what3words

Donations reach the people who need them with what3words and Pack for a Purpose

what3words and Pack for a Purpose teamed up to make it easier for travellers to deliver donations to the communities they visit. Pack for a Purpose helps travellers know what supplies are needed and where to drop them off, but many drop-off points are in remote lodges or reserves with no addresses, poor geocoding and unreliable phone signal, so visitors were often directed to the wrong place.

Pack for a Purpose now lists each South African drop-off point with its precise what3words address (3m x 3m squares), for example ///stronger.bike.cherishes for Madikwe Safari Lodge. The free app works offline and in 14 languages, so travellers can reliably navigate to the exact drop-off, hand over the requested school or library supplies, and ensure donations reach recipients such as Motshabaesi Primary School.
