In the 65 Kids for Kids villages malnutrition is being prevented but there are many others that need our help urgently. Outside of our adopted villages mothers face the daily uncertainty of feeding their children. There are many days when a meal is just not possible. Inflation continues to soar and much needed protein is out of reach. There are many villages that have applied for our help but sadly we cannot help them all. Those that have applied report children dying from malnutrition and malaria in recent weeks. How can the world stand by and let these children perish. There is a solution but we need more help.
The reason children are not facing starvation in Kids for Kids' villages is because we work directly with villagers to help them to run the projects themselves to ensure sustainability. Crucially too, we teach them how to be accountable to their own communities. Having your support has enabled us to provide our whole package of projects which affect every aspect of their lives. However, funds are of course always stretched and there are hundreds of villages that we cannot yet help.
Our goats provide a family with a chance to escape the desperate poverty that is overwhelming families in Darfur. With the right level of care, six goats can become 20 goats in two years. The family then pass on six healthy goats to another family, and in two years they do the same. The income from these goats, and the protein from their milk, can transform and even save lives. Our large mosquito nets are large enough to protect a whole family, they cost just £16. This is a small price to pay for a life.
The price of goats in Darfur is now £38 – can you help us buy one more?
