Story

In Darfur children are seriously malnourished. Drought, and soaring inflation are devastating lives. We are transforming lives - our key project, a goat loan gives milk to children and an income for their mothers to pay for medicines, food, schooling and emergencies. But we do much more, sustainable projects lifting families out of abject poverty, giving them help today and a livelihood for the future

Impact

Children's health improves; families have greater security of income and increased skills; the community is empowered. Donkeys save time for basic tasks giving children the time to go to school. Handpumps close by reduce women's exposure to attack. By ensuring that goats are passed to a new family every 2 years, our project benefits the whole community over time. This project is sustainable and has eradicated malnutrition in 100 Kids for Kids villages, BUT there are over 900 villages in need.

Challenge

In Darfur rural communities struggle out of sight of the rest of the world. Prolonged violence and drought have had a devastating impact and mean that families simply cannot afford to feed their children. Protein is rare and an income impossible. Goat's milk is often the only source of protein, vitamins & minerals for the children who are all severely malnourished. A donkey means that mothers can carry water across the desert to save their children having to walk in the searing heat to the well
