Just look at these beautiful photos of delighted women with their new donkeys. Donkeys that will change their lives, all thanks to you!
These ladies, living in the rural villages we adopted last year - Hillat Sabil, Hillat Um Gadeer and Kudeil - have been chosen to receive a local breed donkey each - and this is the day they first received them.
Can you imagine what their new donkey means to each one of them?
These villages are located in one of the most deprived regions in the world. Isolated from civilisation, thousands of miles away from the regional capital of Sudan, Khartoum, there are no roads, no infrastructure.
In the absence of roads, people must walk. For food, clean water, and firewood.
A family has to walk miles every day, just to survive. And return home with heavy loads.
Just imagine how time-consuming and backbreaking this must be!
A donkey can change all this.
A donkey takes people to collect water, firewood, to go to market, to take people the many miles to hospital. Donkeys take children to school, they carry the old, the weak and the disabled.
Donkeys make life possible - just.
With the current situation in Darfur, donkeys are needed more than ever to ensure the quickest passage of children and their families to food, water and safety.
Please will you consider donating a donkey to help families reach the most basic of necessities and save lives in Darfur?
