KIDS FOR KIDS helps children the world has forgotten, children in Darfur, Sudan, who live lives of inexcusable and unimaginable hardship. Children go to bed hungry in Darfur, and wake up hungry. Inflation in Darfur is rocketing and mothers cannot feed their children. They need urgent help if the children in villages are to survive this year.
Children's hair turns preternaturally blonde from prolonged lack of protein - goat's milk is an essential source of protein, minerals and vitamins Kids for Kids is the only organisation created to help the children of Darfur, living out of sight of the world in the remote villages. Children are living in conditions which are beyond poverty. Even small children walk miles across the desert for every drop of water. They drink water that is heavily polluted and leads to life threatening illnesses. Yet noone is helping. The main aid agencies are no longer there. Foreigners do not go because it is dangerous, and no one is asking for help. Yet children are in desperate need. Please help us to change their lives. We are showing it can be done. Every penny makes a difference in Darfur. Small change = Big changes The sun scorches the sand to a searing heat yet countless children have no shoes to wear. Their mothers have no hope of helping them. Annual incomes are as low as £50 a year. Children have never seen a toy, have no books, no bed, not even a blanket. They have little chance of education. Everything has to be paid for. There is no health care in the villages. There are no roads, no transport - you carry your child in your arms to a hospital, where there is no anaesthetic and where you have to pay for treatment - but you have no money. Kids for Kids is showing how to make a real, lasting, and life changing difference to children the rest of the world has forgotten. Please can you help? We don’t believe in charity, we believe in helping people to help themselves. There are now 60 Kids for Kids' villages where children have hope. Kids for Kids' projects are key to a better future - We have been helping the children of Darfur out of sight of the world, in the forgotten villages beyond the camps, for 10 years. It can be done. There are almost 4 million people struggling to survive in the villages of Darfur – out of sight of the world. These children need you. Key to our help is our Goat Loan Project - we don't just hand out goats we lend 6 goats to a family so that the children have milk, often for the first time in their lives. After 2 years they pass on 6 offspring to another family. And so on. The donation of just one goat transforms many lives. Simple help that makes an enormous difference when inflation in Darfur is soaring and the price of a goat - just £22 ($40) is beyond a mother's dreams. KIDS FOR KIDS supports families through long term, self sustainable projects, identified and run by the villagers themselves. WILL YOU HELP FAMILIES TO RETURN HOME? Families want to go home from the camps where they have been living, sometimes for years. In our villages families are given land - but come with nothing. Can you give a goat or a donkey? Each family needs 6 goats, a donkey, 2 blankets, 2 jumpers for the smallest children, a mosquito net and basic farm tools and seeds so they can start to grow their own food again. The whole package is just £500. Donate Now with the help of our Gift List KIDS FOR KIDS is different, because it enables people to improve their own lives. Our approach is unique because we listen to people. By providing a combination of initiatives - water, goat and donkey loans, health care for humans and animals, livelihood training, animal husbandry, farming techniques, water harvesting, and long term improvement to the environment through our extensive tree planting programme - we are strengthening whole villages, making a major difference to the long term future of entire communities – despite the tragedy of the ongoing problems in Darfur.
