For the past eight years, Patrick Mudanya has been more than more than just the head teacher of Chesakam Primary School in Tiaty, Baringo County.

In a region where few births are registered, Mr Mudanya has taken it upon himself to help his pupils acquire birth certificates. To do this, he must first help parents figure out how old their children are.
