Patricia Parker
Given the MBE for her services to charity.
Patricia started Kids for Kids about eleven years
ago, to raise money to buy goats, donkeys and to
train local midwives, purchase and install fresh water
pumps, and provide veterinary services for sixtythree villages in Darfur, Sudan. They also initiated
the first baobab tree-planting programme. She and
her team have persevered in the most difficult of
circumstances. She says ‘We don’t believe
in charity, we believe in helping people to
help themselves.’
