VICTORY BOXING Nelson

KENYA - APRIL 2024

Celestielle Charitable Trust proudly sponsored our newest initiative, sending four deserving students and two mentors from Victory Boxing in Nelson on a voyage of discovery and learning to Kenya in April 2024, once again in collaboration with the Great Plains Foundation.

Victory Boxing was set up with the aim of having a positive impact on young kids in the community, teaching them life skills, honesty, respect, determination and caring.  In its first year, the program had 20 children involved.  In 2013 due to the popularity and success of the program ​they now have over 400 children registered​.​

Demonstrating their commitment to giving back, the group worked hard fundraising to support the Pack for a Purpose initiative and contribute to other sustainable community projects in Kenya. During their time in Nairobi, the group had the opportunity to participate in school visits, fostering cultural exchange and bolstering educational initiatives, before heading to the Masai Mara to further their learning on conversation, environment, wildlife, and local communities.

We are thrilled to support this initiative and the positive long-term impact it will have on both the participants and the communities they engage with in Kenya.
