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.

Africa is popularly known by its good appetite for the less expensive commodities, second hand clothes being one of the commodities which are on high demand. Nearly everyone wears these kinds of clothing since some are of high quality though they are not new. Since everyone can afford this kind of clothing, they really sell more than hot cakes as rated.

The second hand clothes business brings more consequences to the country than it brings good tidings though income is earned by the government through revenue. Workers who depend on cash paid to them by their employer in the textile industries lose their job since the market is flooded by second hand clothes which compete with the new clothes hence the new clothes lack market. This causes a major blow to the economy which is geared by revenue and income from these industries.

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 collapse due to low market forces hence end up sending the workers home since the products they make are no longer marketable. When jobs are lost the workers end up being a security threat since robbery increases at a higher rate. Families of people who are employed by the textile firms ends up lacking basic needs and in this case they become beggars.

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.
