Thanks to our extraordinary our supporters, and to Dame Joanna Lumley and special friends for inspiring this generosity, our Doubling Campaign has raised an incredible £82,902.01. You have responded when the world continues to shut its ears to the pleas of mothers in Darfur. We can not thank you enough.
This remarkable total means that 3,316 families with children aged five and under will now receive one of our Kids Kitchen Kits – life-saving support for some of the most vulnerable children in Darfur.
In the remote villages we support, families are facing desperate conditions. Ongoing conflict, displacement and severe shortages of food have pushed communities to the brink. Many families survive on just one meagre meal a day – if that. Clean water is scarce, basic medicines are often unavailable, and parents are forced to make impossible choices about how to feed their children.
For babies and young children, the consequences are devastating. Malnutrition weakens immune systems, leaving children dangerously vulnerable to illness and disease. Our Kids Kitchen Kits are designed to meet this urgent need. Each kit provides essential protein and nutritious food. For children under five, this support can mean the difference between malnutrition and survival.
Thanks to the success of this campaign, thousands of families will now have a vital lifeline – hope, dignity and the ability to care for their youngest children during the most critical years of their lives.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, shared the campaign or helped spread the word. At a time when the people of Darfur are increasingly forgotten, your support has sent a powerful message: these families are not alone.
The need in Darfur remains immense, but together we are reaching children and families that few others can. Thank you for helping us save lives.
