The Truth About 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.

Agencies which collect these clothing are led by greed-driven people who instead of giving them to the less fortunate in the country they sell these cloths. African market is the most eyed source of income to these money lovers who sell them at a low cost but sell as much tones as possible hence bringing forth reputable profits. The reason behind this is because many Africans live a hand to mouth lifestyle hence cannot afford new shipped clothes which are costly.

Africa appreciates less expensive clothes which are brought at a cheaper price and later sold, the rate of which the clothes are sold higher but affordable to the common man. These clothes have a very high demand and everyone likes to have a portion of the goodies the so-called donated clothes. They are later sold in open air markets which people select them in a bent posture.

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.

Developing countries government should come up with rules to scrap exit of local garments. This includes reducing the tax rate of the local industries and taxing the imported cloths. These steps will help the country conquer in matters of exporting local clothes and economy will incline.
