Secrets Behind The Act Of Clothing Donation PA

By Christopher Cooper


Developed countries always have a criterion of helping the poor in their society, in this case, they donate various items including household goods and clothing which is later given to the less fortunate. There are various firms that collect these items which are donated and shipped to developing countries. Other clothing donation PA are given to people who live in suburbs of the major capital cities of different places of the developed countries.

Different organizations are governed by leaders from different walks of life and caliber who have different traits. Greedy and corrupt leaders sell these donated clothes to people who ship them to different African countries which are popular for their taste of cheap commodities. Africa not only attracts these greedy leaders but also attracts investors who major into different commodities which are sold at a pocket-friendly price.

When these cloths land in Africa they are later sold at a higher price from which they are shipped with though affordable to the man on the street. The cloths sell like hot cakes since everyone likes to have a portion of the cheap clothes which they acquire in markets called bend-over markets. These are the kind of markets where the donated garments are casted on the ground and people select when they bend to pick the desired item.

The business brings a lot of demerits as compared to the merits to these developed countries though income tax is collected by the revenue authorities. Workers who earn a living by working in the textile industries end up having no jobs and the small scale producers market is lost since the market is flooded by cheap imported clothes. The economy is greatly affected by these market forces hence leading to its decline.

Africa have always products to export and import to other countries, these includes tea, coffee and pyrethrum and so on though there are also items that are not considered much but they also bring forth income. These items include the original tailored garments which are the movers of Africans culture and economy, for instance in Kenya, the Maasai Shukas which are exported abroad. When the old cheap clothes flood the market everyone forsakes the indigenous garments hence loose both local and international market.

Textile industries have workers who greatly depend on the local textiles to get their basic needs. When the market forces trigger the exit of these local textiles workers lose their jobs hence leaving them helpless. Mostly these employed workers have families to take care of and when the loss occurs they end up in crime to make ends meet.

Charitable firms which like The Salvation Army put it in black and white that the clothes are sold to bring forth more income for good causes. The cash helps in transportation and paying workers who are involved in the process at large. This makes the firms have a stable income flow hence the rate of collapsing is low.

Third world countries governments should come up with measures of defending the local textile industries which employ people in large numbers. The measures include taxing the shipment of second hand clothes at a higher rate that will make their price more expensive than the local made clothes and less taxing of local clothes. With this, the economy will stabilize and a faster rate.
