Mothers in Darfur, busy with their daily tasks, have little time for active engagement with their small children. The lack of mental stimulation during these crucial formative years diminishes the development potential of the children forever. KIDS FOR KIDS is desperate to address this situation by building and equipping kindergartens in the villages. These will enable children to ultimately develop their full potential, achieve greater success at school and attain better life opportunities.
