Brian Festus Kiptoo

Brian Festus Kiptoo is a shining example of dedication and perseverance, overcoming challenges to achieve remarkable success in his career. Raised at the Kipkaren Children's Home, he found love and guidance under the care of Peter and Zipporah Matekwa, who instilled in him strong values and a deep faith in God!

After earning a diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics Management from the Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology, Brian devoted himself to volunteering at various healthcare facilities, including Kimbilio Hospice, Iten County Referral Hospital, and Kaptarkwa Sub County Hospital. Despite a difficult economy that led to a challenging job search, he remained steadfast in his pursuit of success.

In a wonderful turn of events, a friend shared a job opportunity with Brian last year! Wasting no time, he applied, attended the interview, and secured a position as a Clinical Nutritionist at an AHN Dialysis Center in PCEA Kikuyu Hospital. Adding to the excitement, Brian and his fellow new hires will undergo two months of training in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, before stepping into their roles. This incredible achievement has brought immense joy and celebration! 

Filled with gratitude, Brian extends his heartfelt thanks to his sponsors, the Empowering Lives family, and the supportive friends who have stood by him throughout his journey. He credits their unwavering prayers and encouragement for his success. What a joy it is to empower lives together!
