In African society, receiving a newborn baby is regarded as a source of blessings or a gift. But for Caxton Osozie, his birth took a different route.

"I was born in 1992, in one of the big hospitals in Vihiga County. My mother tells me she gave birth without any birth complications. Unfortunately, both Mum and Dad were shocked to learn that I looked different from my other siblings. My skin looked white which was scary to them," Caxton says.
