BlueFoot Travel Supports Pack for a Purpose
BlueFoot Travel is proud to become a member of an exciting initiative called Pack for a Purpose.
Pack for a Purpose, allows travellers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at your travel destination. If you save just a few kilos of space in your suitcase and take supplies for the projects we support in need, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of local children and families.
Since 2010 the ‘Pack for a Purpose’ global travel community has donated more than 165,728 kgs (364,601 pounds) of supplies meeting essential needs in over 60 countries. Each project supported provides a detailed list of the supplies they need and Pack for a Purpose guides you on how to pack what is needed in just 5lbs / 2,27kg.
Small Space. Little Effort. Big Impact.
BlueFoot Travel has arranged to support projects with the Charter Yacht Society in the BVI, Blue Grenadines in Bequia, and with Sunsation Tours in Grenada.

BlueFoot Travel Guests Making a Big Impact
2019 was our first year supporting Pack for a Purpose and we would like to thank all our guests who spared some space to make a big impact on the islands we sail to. In total, our guests brought 68lb or 31KG of specific items for projects we support in Bequia and Dominica.
Our second year supporting Pack for a Purpose in 2020 was once again a great success. Another huge THANK YOU to all our guests who brought supplies for our projects in Bequia and Grenada. Together you brought 115lb or 52.3 kg of supplies!
Here are some of the amazing guests who brought items with them.
At BlueFoot Travel we are very fortunate to be able to sail to incredibly beautiful islands across the Caribbean and meet and work with many of the wonderful islanders who live there. We look forward to having a positive impact on the lives of local children and families.
