As the young boys and girls dug trenches and cleared bushes to help build a brick house for a lucky villager, none of those present had a clue that the labourers were some of the brightest primary school leavers. They all came from poor backgrounds and despite scoring highly in KCPE examinations their high school education could not be guaranteed until a helping hand came knocking.

Mr Kingston, 29, runs Starfish Africa, an organisation that has managed to secure uninterrupted secondary and university education for students under its guidance.
