Eliud Kiptoo

What a joy it is to celebrate the incredible success stories of our college students, both current and graduates! One shining example is Eliud Kiptoo, who was raised in our Kipkaren Children's Home. Eliud's educational journey began with outstanding achievements at Brook of Faith Academy, followed by making a lasting impression at Segero Adventist High School. His exceptional performance led him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in education, specializing in mathematics and chemistry, at Kibabii University.

After graduating, Eliud pursued his passion for teaching and landed a position at Chomisia Primary School in his home village. Known for his unwavering determination, infectious positivity, and genuine love for sharing knowledge, Eliud dedicated himself to shaping the minds of young learners! Eager to broaden his impact even more, he seized the opportunity presented by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). When the government announced vacancies for intern teachers in Junior Secondary Schools (junior high) last November, Eliud wasted no time in submitting his application. His hard work and dedication paid off when he received an acceptance letter in December, leading to his placement at Kombe Primary and Junior School near Kapsabet, Kenya. 

During a recent visit to the school, we were blown away by Eliud's passion and energy. Teaching 90 students across three classes, he is a true force for good in the world. With his expertise in integrated science, mathematics, and pre-technical studies, he is actively shaping the futures of his students. It warms our hearts to see young adults like Eliud, who have flourished under our guidance, making a positive impact on the world.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to the Empowering Lives family and sponsors whose unwavering support has empowered these young adults on their educational journey. With their newfound skills and unwavering determination, Eliud and other teachers are ready to empower lives and become true catalysts for positive change. The future is bright, and we are thrilled to be a part of it!
