Story
Kenyan Orphan Project was started in 2001 by medical students with the vision to fight against poverty, disease, social exclusion and injustice and to help improve the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in Kenya.
Since then more than 500 students from different UK medical schools have been helping to support KOP projects. KOP also works hard to link project work with global child health education and experience for UK students and volunteers.
We are raising money for vima. VIMA is a non government organisation (NGO) based in Kondele; an extremely deprived area near Kisumu. VIMA offers support for OVC’s in the area through a number of foster homes and carers; thereby offering personal care in a safe, family environment and concentrates on the educational and material support to allow these children to live as normal a life as possible. In 2009 KOP aims to fund food and household supplies through VIMA to nine specific foster homes and also additional support to educational programmes for 34 OVC’s.
