iKOP & Student Summer Programme 2013

2010 saw the establishment of the first ever KOP group at Imperial. We're very excited to be able to contribute to the great work of KOP, and we want you to join us! Your contributions can help us to make a difference!

 

This year, 17 of our students will be going out to Kisumu, Kenya to see firsthand the work of the projects and the fruits of our fundraising efforts. We will be visiting orphanages, schools, hospitals and various support groups and even building! Students before us have built a hospital and schools which are still functional today. Most importantly we'll be able to meet the children whose lives have benefitted from your donations.
