Trees & Agriculture News
Our “Trees of Life” really do Save Lives!
With Darfur being at the forefront of global warming and temperatures soaring to over 50 degrees in the summer months, all surface water evaporates by February each year, leaving the land parched and scorched. Land that was green with trees and water early last century is now a desert for most of the year. For the past 17 years, Kids for Kids has been planting drought-resistant trees in an effort to improve the environment for the long-term and hold back the Sahara which is creeping south inexorably. In 2007 we were the first organization to experiment with reintroducing the Baobab tree to Darfur. Baobabs now transform the landscape in our villages and save the lives of starving children. Baobabs can live up to 5,000 years, reach up to 30 metres high and grow up to an enormous 50 metres in circumference. They can provide shelter, food and water for families and their animals, and during the rainy season, they absorb and store water in their vast trunks, enabling them to produce a nutrient-dense fruit in the dry season when Read more…

From Darfur to Downing Street – Celebrating 23 Years Changing Lives
Kids for Kids, the only charity dedicated to transforming the lives of children in Darfur, Sudan, marked its 23rd birthday with a special celebration at No. 11 Downing Street, hosted by The Rt Hon Mr Jeremy Hunt MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Thursday 7th March 2024. Hunt opened the celebration, which welcomed long-term supporters of the charity, by saying: “This is an amazing and wonderful cause. I was incredibly impressed by Kids for Kids and I want to thank you all for your commitment to it and the incredible difference you are making to the lives of children in and around Darfur.
