By Sage Lancaster | Fundraising and Outreach Coordinator
We are very happy to share that it is because of the trees and other plants we have provided that many families have fruit and vegetables to eat during the famine that is currently being experienced in Darfur. There is famine declared in five regions of the country and acute malnutrition throughout. But because of your generosity, and the seeds you provided for planting, 2,883 Children from 400 families will have fresh Tomatoes, Okra and Watermelon - in Abu Degeise, Majdoub (A), Um Hagalig, Kulkul, Hillat Hassan, Mugabil, Um Ga'al, Amar Gadid and Tikailat Villages. By teaching water harvesting to families in our villages through our sustainable projects, they have been able to contiue cultivating, growing more fresh fruits and vegetables, even during a time of famine and the ever-present threat of violence.
But water is scarce. This video was taken on 8th March, Kids for Kids 24th Birthday, in Um Ga'al village and it shows families rushing to the hafir to collect as much water as they can before it dries up. Thank you for continuing to support Kids for Kids and recognising the importance of our life-saving work. Please help us to keep providing families with the basic essentials.
Our 2024 Achievements Document (attached below) explains everything we have provided during these terrible months, and to whom. We have focused heavily on our Emergency Appeal, and have been able to reach 49 of our 110 communities - providing an astonishing 11,276 Children with Kids Kitchen Kits. But there are 61 more villages that we must get help too - and urgently. And we have just the opportunity for your donation to make an even bigger difference than usual...
The Little by Little Campaign is next week from Tuesday March 25th - Friday 28th, where donations of up to $50 per person will be matched at 50%!
Please will you help us feed 200 more starving children by donating to our Emergency Appeal on GlobalGiving?
With $50 per person (= £39, 80 AUD, 72 CAD) matched at 50% - your $50 becomes $75! Please do let your friends know and set a calendar reminder now for the 25th! $25 of FREE money can make a world of difference to a starving child - so let's not miss out! More details can be found on the link below. Thank you!
