Celebrities adopt 60th village To read about how we are able to adopt MUGABIL a small village in a remote part of Darfur - thanks to 89 celebrities. Now it is our turn!
DONATE ON YOUR MOBILE! It is really easy! And you will know you are changing the life of a child right now! Donate £22 and you buy a goat - but every pound makes a difference in Darfur where people earn as little as £50 a year! KFKS01 £1 or more to 70070 There are no charges for donating from your mobile so every penny goes to Darfur. You can donate as much - or as little - as you want - small change = big changes when you have so little! Needed urgently - blankets for the winter. Nights are cold in the desert and children, already malnourished from the drought, succumb to chest infections quickly. 1 blanket = £14 For an update on our projects please or read Patricia's Blog for up to date news of our projects and what you are doing to help! DURHAM LEADS THE WAY FOR UK'S TOP STUDENTS! RAG representatives from Universities all over the UK got together at Durham for the RAG Conference 2011. Over 40 charities were invited to take part. KIDS FOR KIDS was chosen as RAG CHARITY OF THE YEAR! "I was concerned about going to the conference" said Patricia Parker, Chairman & Founder, "because of the expense and time away from my desk. I normally prefer buying goats and donkeys - not attending conferences! But it was a privilege to meet so many dedicated, selfless young people. This was our first DUCK Conference and I hope very much it will not be our last!" It has never been more important to enable families to help themselves. We don't believe in charity - we believe in giving people the dignity and ability to help themselves. We achieve so much by keeping administration as low as possible - so that you really know how your help is making a difference to children - and how your donations are used! If you have any questions please ask us! contact@kidsforkids.org.uk
