Kenyan Orphan Project (KOP) 2012
KOP 2010 group at Kunya primary school
KOP Warwick now in its forth year! KOP is a national charity started by medical students from Nottingham university in 2000. We run fundraising events throughout the year and 100% of the money goes directly to KOPs projects based in western Kenya. In the summer after all the hard work there's an opportunity for student members to go out and see exactly where that money you raised goes! You can find out more about the trip by having a look at what happened last year and the year before, here.
Over the previous year we've been supporting VIMA:
VIMA is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in Kondele, an extremely deprived area in Kisumu. VIMA offers support for orphans and vunerable children (OVCs) in the area through foster homes and carers, thus offering personal care in a safe family environment and concentrates on the educational and material support to allow these children to live normal lives. Money raised by KOP Warwick will finance the living costs of 37 orphans and vulnerable children to sustain the family environment, education costs (such as uniform, books and school fees) and health expenses. In order to support this and to facilitate the the support of more children waiting for VIMA's help, KOP will finance the administrative and staff costs of the programme. Any further funds will allow the initiation of income generating activities for VIMA and the expansion of child support.

KOP Warwick at the Medic Summer Ball 2011
On the 18th of June KOP members truly had a night to remember! Warwick MedSoc held a fantastic Summer Ball, where Warwick KOP provided fun and games in order to raise money. We held a great raffle, with prizes generously donated by local Leamington and Kenilworth businesses, played guess that KOP baby and the heads and tails game! In total we raised over £400 and had a great night.
