Kids for kids
Kids for Kids adopts remote villages in Darfur, Sudan, introducing an integrated package of grassroots sustainable projects identified, and run, by the villagers themselves which will lift them out of poverty long-term. Our key project is our Goat Loan. We lend the poorest families 5 goats so that children have milk. Today this is their only source of protein. After 2 years, as the little flock grows, 5 nanny goats are passed on to another family, and so on. We lend donkeys, and chickens, we provide mosquito nets, blankets, jerry cans and farm tools. We train midwives, first aiders, and paravets. We install handpumps for clean and accessible water. We build kindergartens & health centres. And we plant trees to slow the spread of the desert, provide shade and by-products that can be used, eaten, or sold by the communities. Sudan is gripped in a major conflict, with millions of people on the brink of famine. Kids for Kids is able to deliver emergency aid to our villages – providing much needed aid to these communities, many of which have trebled in size because they know they have a better chance of survival.
