Kids for Kids is the only organisation created to help the forgotten children of Darfur, living lives of inexcusable and unimaginable hardship. For the past 22 years we have been transforming long term the lives of children and their families living in remote villages out of sight of the world and to date we have adopted 110 villages in Darfur and helped over 550,000 people. Our aim is to improve the lives of children and help lift families out of abject poverty through a unique package of sustainable projects identified and run by the communities themselves. Despite the recent fear of war and famine, people from our villages do not become refugees. We have shown that if a young man has the means to support himself and a family he will stay. Many are active in our village committees such as the Forest Committee and Water Committee.
Kids for Kids aims to benefit children and their families in the remote villages of Darfur, Sudan who lack access to basic human rights such as water, food, adequate healthcare, education and the ability to earn an income. Through our work to benefit these families, we also benefit the surrounding environment as we plant trees to reforest the desert and combat climate change. Our fundraising and awareness raising in the UK has the added benefit of teaching children in this country about the difficult lives that are faced by many children their same age.
If you are passionate about helping those less fortunate, are enthusiastic and like to have fun then do come and volunteer for Kids for Kids - we would love to have you on the team!
