Help for families

KIDS FOR KIDS is virtually the only organization to have brought help to children still living in villages in Darfur during the last five years. Aid from the international community has been concentrated on the IDP (Internally Displaced People) camps, and yet there are over 3½ million people still clinging to their homes as the violence has continued - but for how much longer?

Our aim is to help people to help themselves.
We do not believe in charity, and nor do people want it. What they want to do is to be able to look after their own children, themselves – the same as any parents anywhere in the world. But when you have nothing, how can you survive? Recently we were told of a young mother whose 12 year old daughter was very ill. In the heat of Darfur temperatures can soar dangerously. She needed antibiotics and her mother had nothing to sell to get them. There was no one she could turn to. But she had one of our little kids – she could not sell the 6 KIDS FOR KIDS goats we had lent her but she was able to sell a little kid – and her daughter is now well again. This is real help made possible by the donations you send us, often very small but all making a difference to a family in Darfur. That is what KIDS FOR KIDS is about!

We provide WATER, we lend 6 GOATS to a family, DONKEYS, HEALTH CARE, improved FARMING TECHNIQUES and much more. All based on training of the community so that they can run the projects themselves. This is why our projects work. Patricia sits down with villagers who tell her about life in Darfur – and together they work out what would make the most difference. “We cannot sit by and see these families destroyed. Each of us can do something about it! Please contact your MP and anyone you know who can influence opinion. Action is needed, right now. But, even more important is telling your friends what we can do together. Spread the word!  We don’t advertise – we rely on you telling people. LET US MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
