ABOUT US:
Patricia and Alastair aim to visit Darfur and Khartoum twice a year. They sit with villagers and hear about their lives.


"People do not ask us for help" explains Patricia " they don't want to disappoint us if we cannot help them. What I do is ask them about their lives and help them identify ways which will enable them to improve their own lives. I do not believe in charity, but I do believe in helping families help themselves".

"Our implementing partners in Darfur are the UK charity, Practical Action. Their philosophy "Small is Beautiful" mirrors our own," said Patricia. "One of the first people to help me freely was Mohammed Mazoub Fidiel, their Country Director in Sudan. In February 2006 he was the inspirational leader for the first KIDS FOR KIDS workshop. The team in Darfur is quite amazing. The conflict, which has continued in varying degrees of violence throughout the year, has threatened at times to put a stop to all our work. Mohammed Sidiq in Darfur and our Project Leader Dr. AbdelAzim Imam, our Veterinary Doctor, have found ways to adjust the ways in which projects are implemented so that they may have been delayed at times, but they have never been cancelled. It is an enormous help too, to have back up from the PA team in Rugby.
Health Care

"We have trained a further 16 Village Midwives who had delivered 140
healthy babies in their villages by October 2006

For the first time we trained Primary Health Care Workers. 22 are now working in remote areas.

We also provided a Sterilising Unit
for the rural hospital at Mallit.
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

There are now 21
KIDS FOR KIDS VILLAGES
100,000 villagers benefiting from our projects in our first five years.
In our most recent Project – 2005/2006
We have trained committees in 10 new villages.

We have given the go ahead for 30 new handpumps, and 4 were installed earlier this year.

We have provided 650 billy goats and 3,264 nanny goats to new families.

We have replaced 35 goats where there have been problems and lent 11 more to families who did not fit our normal selection criteria. 573 donkeys have gone to new homes and 22 crossbred donkeys (which are larger and faster) are now helping our new Primary Health Care Workers reach their patients and 16 crossbred donkeys were presented to our new midwives.

Each village has a paravet and veterinary drugs, plus an Animal Loan Committee to run the fund, and a programme of vaccinating 5,317 goats is nearing completion

We have trained 22 farmers in terrace building to extend the planting time and provided:
• 10 donkey drawn ambulances
• 100 donkey ploughs
• watermelon
• sweet melon
• cow pea
• groundnut and sesame seeds
• 10 ropes
• 230 spades
• 230 pickaxes
• 230 hoes
• 8 blackboards
• 1,400 exercise books
Capital InternationalKIDS FOR KIDS is committed to funding a minimum of 150,000, for each of the next three years, to help families stay in their villages. Many families which were already facing great hardship, are hosting people made homeless because of the conflict. CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL is the first to help these families. "I cannot thank the Trustees enough" said Patricia "This support means a great deal - please can you help us give more families a chance?"
