There is no health care in the villages of Darfur. Young girls getting married in remote villages face childbirth with no trained assistance. In some villages there may be a Traditional Birth Attender (TBA) – someone who has ‘survived childbirth’. She will have had no medical training. If there is obstructed birth, ‘rope delivery’ is the only possible help, with subsequent damage to the baby – if it survives. It costs Kids for Kids £2,000 to train a Village Midwife and to provide her with a smart white tobe (sari uniform) and leather sandals, plus providing her with medical equipment. We also provide a fast and strong crossbred donkey so she can travel more easily between the villages, plus a solar lantern so that mothers will not give birth by the flickering light of a fire. There is no electricity in villages.

Cherished Gowns UK is a charity that provides the families of babies that are stillborn, miscarried or pass away shortly after birth with items of clothing that they are able to be dressed in for their funeral. We offer five sizes of Cherished Gowns, and each gown is accompanied by a hat, pair of booties, a blanket and a cloth nappy. These items are provided completely free of charge to parents, funeral directors, and we also supply every UK hospital with this service. All of the items that we provide are lovingly made by volunteers around the UK, from donated Wedding Dresses.

Across the food industry, tonnes of edible food products are thrown away every day. Give £10 and enable us to redistribute 40 meals worth of food to those in need.

In 2019, 10 million new people fell ill with TB, even though the disease is preventable and curable. With the emergence of COVID-19, respiratory illness and treatment are more important than ever.

APOPO’s TB-detection rats screen tens of thousands of sputum samples collected from TB clinics every year. As a result, many TB patients that initially were diagnosed as negative have been identified, started treatment and stopped the spread of the disease.

"The Baby" is a magical rhyming book that is intended to support families that are suffering or have suffered with the loss of a baby. Written by talented children’s author Joseph Hopkins in collaboration with registered charity ‘Making Miracles’, the book is intended to help families talk and provoke communication about this tough subject. Research showed that families find talking to young children or siblings particularly hard and that is where ‘The Baby’ can help. Wonderful, simple and calm illustrations are a perfect fit for the book.

Your donation would provide a care package for someone living in isolation due to caring responsibilities and perhaps can’t get to a art group

Dover smART Project was founded in 2013 to provide opportunities for disadvantaged children in Dover to take part in a wide range of creative activities and experiences to boost their confidence, enhance their well-being, raise their aspirations and widen their outlook on the world. The charity soon evolved and began similar work with other groups, such as the people without a home and hospice patients, using art and creativity to support their various needs.
