ABOUT US:
Patricia and Alastair aim to visit Darfur and Khartoum at least twice a year. They sit with villagers and hear about their lives. And now we have our own office in Darfur where our Programme Manager and Project Officer - both Darfurians - work directly with villagers to make sure we are helping them in the most effective, and immediate, way possible.


"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".




"We have trained a further 68 Village Midwives. One midwife delivered 1012 healthy babies in her first two years!

For the first time we trained First Aid Workers to provide basic hygiene training and health care.

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

And built a Midwife Training School for 40 Midwives in El Fasher, the Regional Capital of North Darfur.

We have planted 460,000 drought resistant trees. This small meringa will grow quickly in the desert and provide shade for a picnic within 2 years! We are transforming the desert and all the trees we plant provide a means of a livelihood - from pesticides, to fruit, medicines and even henna for celebrations! Most important of all, they hold back further dessertification. In Abu Shouk camp, outside El Fasher, there is now a green canopy beginning to spread across what were temporary homes on a sandy plain. Now it is turning green and birds nest in the branches.
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

There are now 54
KIDS FOR KIDS VILLAGES
25,000 villagers benefiting from our projects in our first ten years! Help us help more families in the next ten years!
In our most recent Project

We are training committees in 3 new villages.

We have repaired 30 new handpumps, and 2 were installed recently - with 8 more to come.

We have provided billy goats and nanny goats to new families in Abu Nahla, Tekailat and Kheirban B.

Each village has 2 newly trained paravet and have given them veterinary drugs to set up a Revolving Veterinary Drug scheme fo help the entire village - plus an Animal Loan Committee has been trained in each area to run the fund, and a programme of vaccinating goats and donkeys is in hand.

Every beneficiary has attended our Animal Husbandry Courses - with special classes for the children of our Children's Shepherd Committtee - to teach them how to care for their animals.

Volunteers have been chosen to be trained as Village Midwives and as First Aid Workers - essential as no village these days has health care. Simple problems become major disasters. Our grass roots projects are designed to prevent a catastrophy.
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?"
