John and Victor are lovely, and the work the charity does is absolutely essential. At first it did feel a little like I was there more to donate money than my time or expertise, but I was able to discuss my concerns about this openly with John, who was great about it, and helped me to feel confident about all of the (non-financial) ways I could contribute to the programme. There is no doubt that their work has a genuine positive impact on local kids, and it was a privilege to be able to live and work with them for a short while.

The project is an amazing project, cratering the needy children of the community and helping them with awareness and sports is a great idea in itself. I would 💯 recommend this project to be a part of your experience in Kenya

This volunteer opportunity and projet is one of my favorite ever. The hosts and projects funders, Victor, John and Vincent are completely inspiring and inspired to improve their local community. I felt welcomed from the start and I could easily see the profound impact their different programs, food help, the football/soccer teams and the boxing club have on the children, adolescents and young adult. My boxing coaching experience was wonderfu,l full of passion and both way collaboration. The occasions to also participate on the food programme with the younger children was also heartwarming.

My experience at “Cope the project” was truly incredible. It was the last volunteer experience I did in Africa before returning to my country, and with the help of my friends, I was able to make a significant social impact. Victor and John are truly dedicated to the children in the community, and the most important thing for me was finding a genuine organization with real needs where I could help and work together. So grateful with all of them. Will miss this community a lot.

Teaching the kids boxing was an amazing experience. They were all very kind and eager to learn. Victor and his friend went above and beyond to make me feel safe and welcomed, and they even took me along on some of their adventures, which made my time there even more special. I really enjoyed the little time we had together and appreciate their hospitality!

The sports school is nice, they have different teams for kids, girls and boys. At home, Victor and his friends are respectful and kind to you. The training time is around 5 to 7 pm during weekdays, so you'll have all the rest of the day for your own personal activities. If you're a woman and don't feel confident to coach the girls' team (in my case, I like football but do it just for fun and they are so good!), then as an alternative he offers you to train with them. Unfortunately, I had to modify my expected dates of my volunteering, but Victor was always receptive and flexible. Thanks a lot!

I had an amazing experience teaching different boxing styles to the kids and youth, they were eager to learn and very welcoming, I did learn a lot too! I felt a bit clostrophobic at the place because I couldn't leave on my own and the building was very noisy at that moment and I am used to quiet open spaces. You will be accompanied by a host's friend for your errances in town and if you look for some nature around I woud reccomend Karura Forest.
