About Brighton has faced significant hardships from a young age. His mother passed away when he was just six years old, leaving him in the care of his aunt. Despite her limited resources, Brighton's aunt has been his primary caregiver and has strived to provide him with the best possible opportunities. After completing his Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), Brighton was selected to join a distant secondary school. However, due to financial constraints, his aunt enrolled him in a nearby school instead. The school's principal showed compassion by admitting Brighton and allowing his aunt additional time to gather the necessary funds for his school fees. Brighton's aunt works tirelessly on the farm and takes on casual jobs, but these efforts do not yield sufficient income to cover all of Brighton's educational expenses. Despite these challenges, Brighton remains hopeful and prays for a sponsor to support his education. He is determined to succeed in his studies and dreams of a future where he can give back to others in need.
