No, we are not taking clothing because customs regulations, fumigation of second-hand items, transport and communications make the process of exporting second hand items very complicated, time-consuming and expensive.
It is much easier to buy these items (with the money our supporters donate) in the countries where they are needed. It reduces the cost to UKC4C, helps stimulate local markets and economies, and we can be sure that the goods that we source are appropriate – both for the local environment and the local cultures.
