Children are at risk of fatal starvation this year

By Debbie Hoods | Project Assistant

Children are starving and wear their only clothes

Thank you for subscribing to our reports and for wanting to help the forgotten children of Darfur.

Sadly, these are ghastly times in Darfur as the region has been completely forgotten by the world. The world's media is focussing on the problems and hunger in South Sudan.  The tragedy is that in the absence of virtually all Aid Agencies and their publicity machines, plus the impossibility of any journalist visiting, the news of Darfur is just not getting out.  People are reporting famine in South Sudan yet ignored UNICEF’s warning that 80,000 children are already severely malnourished in Darfur.  Without medical help, they will die and the chance of a new harvest is not for many months so this is just the beginning

Today, Kids for Kids is transforming the lives of children in 70 villages, in total 310,000 villagers now benefit from our projects. Villagers tell us what will help, and we teach them how to run the projects themselves to ensure they last. Children need long term help if their lives are to be transformed. Your support has enabled us to provide our simple grassroots projects that help give people a chance to survive, and more importantly, a chance for their children in the future.  But even more need our help.  Our donkeys give families a chance of navigating the desert to either reach the markets or to transport water, their children to school (where possible) and the sick to hospital.

Our little goats continue to transform the lives of children.  Just one cup of fresh goats milk gives children the nutrients that they need to survive and can help them to fight malnutrition.  A flock of six goats can transform the lives of a whole family and in two years time, their goats 'kids' can help more families and whole communities over time.  One goat costs just £38 which is small price to pay for a child's life.  If you can help, please give the gift of a goat today.

Thank you.
