Was with this boy in highschool he was a year behind me. 😎😎 am happy to see he's winning in life 👊👊

We need more stories like this. Great inspiration.

He was my school mate parklands secondary school. Michael mwangi was devoted to his studies. #former school academic captain. Abdirahman mohamed

The 10 yr old boy knew he was going to be something. He prepared the smile for that glorious day.

*"You could see that there was something about him"* *People ONLY say that AFTER you've succeeded.*

Michael, you will fly like an Eagle to places you've never been. ✈✈🚀🛩🛩🛩🛫🛫🛫

Kindly take Mom for DELIVERANCE if rehab has failed.God NEVER fails.HE always finishes what HE starts what ever the circumstances.To God be the Glory and Adoration for your testimony

What a wonderful story 🙏🏾🙏🏾a boy who never gave up👍🏾👍🏾

Kenyans are just special. The most industrious people of Africa which has made country the envy of all their neighbours and many other countries. It’s the only country on the continent I would even consider living in. Lovely people.

“Mungu atakuandalia meza mbele ya watesi wako!” His relatives had took everything he had and left them to live on the streets, look at him now!

That story seemed too short. Inspiring at the same time. God bless the people who devote their time and resources of making our society better and helping the less privileged people.

Very cool. Nice to see some positive aspects of Africa. We want more.

I love both the mentor and the boy.

God bless You my brother!with much love from Zambia.

Drake : started from the bottom now we here Afrikan kid : hold my beer

Mike you inspire me everyday.... Always proud of you 💓 Continue shinning ... blessings upon you

so humble such an inspiration.

Bbc we need this kind of positive documentaries we don’t need to be reminded everyday of the shit we see everyday

If you believe, you achieve 🌟 Shine

His mother went back and chose the life of the street. This shows that poverty is a mindset. You can either stay in it or take a different path.

Hollywood movie in the making. Such a wonderful and inspiring experience. Love from your neighbours. 💚💛❤️

aki God's always got a plan for each and every one of us. Each time I hear such stories, i get encouraged and uplifted. May God keep blessing you.

finally a story that has some truth in it. that story of night runners will still haunt you forever, it was stage managed.

Waww that's ground breaking. From one extreme world to another entirely new world. Very inspiring thanks BBC we need more of this

What an inspiring story. Like Lupita said,dreams are valid.

The part about his mother still being in the streets is sad. But I'm sure he's working on that. Great inspiration.

This made my day! Don't ever give up, make the best of what you got!!!

Woow, it is possible! I hope he can be a breakthrough for his mum and siblings. God bless the mentor.

Yeeeeeeees mike..you are at BBC..so happy and proud of you..keep doing good..you are meant for this!!

Beautiful story, positive story as well.

truly inspirational african story. God bless each and every soul that worked tirelessly to help this young boy to realise his dream

Heart touching. True impact.

I’m so happy for this young man. I feel like something great happened to me.

I'm Ugandan. Passionate about aviation and community. All my life, I have volunteered with local humanitarian NGOs. In 2016, I went to Nairobi to study my Flight Operations course. A schoolmate introduced me to this organization where I would go on weekends and join the rest to cook and serve food and clothing to street people. That is where I met Mike. Very friendly and easy-going. Later on, I joined the same flight school Mike was at, but I was in the Flight Operations class. I look at the photos we took in these activities in Huruma and I tear. I left Nairobi before completing my Flight Operations training due to financial constraints. It's inspiring to see this story aired on BBC.

Why would anyone dislike this? This is so inspiring and goes to show that sometimes all people need is opportunity and they'll thrive.

All my life, I have volunteered with local humanitarian NGOs in Uganda. In Nairobi, I volunteered with the organization Mike was working with. I would go to that very Youth Centre in Huruma on Saturdays and we would cook and serve food and clothing to the street people. Up to to day, I look through my photos from those days and tear. I left Nairobi before finishing my license training due to financial constraints. Mike was an easy-going chap. Very friendly.

Now this is a worthy suggestion from KZfaq! 🙏😊

Awesome inspiring story, keep going higher 💪🏽👍🏽

Congratulations. It's not where you have been but where you are going. I became a Pilot, I could afford a Book. All the money that pass my hands went to my Pilot training. Today I hold every credential a Pilot could possess + I will be moving to Africa from the USA this year.

What did BBC eat today? Why are you so positive about Africa. We expected your usual negativity.

What a beautiful story and heartwarming ♥

God bless you men!!! U are courageous and inspiring❤️

God bless you !!! Keep up the good work !! I pray many blessings upon you. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

How Beautiful that Lady's Face Became when She spoke of How Her Husband had Changed and now helped Her and treated Her with Respect ! To many Women are Mistreated in Africa and that needs to change !

Omg what a beautiful story and a dream follower

That's very touchy..goosebumps God time is the best ...youngking TV

This is inspirational. This reminds us that if we dream and pursue it we can catch it. Nothing is impossible when you’re dreaming. Even when you have nothing but you ate not losing hope you can have something in future if you wont stop pursuing what you want.

Love you Bro. Good job. Keep going!

Wow! God is the greatest with him dreams are possible all the best brother🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

God bless you and keep touch with God. You are hero .God knows you.

Wonderful story 🙏🙏🙏

God bless you abundantly.. Stay blessed

Shame unto the family members of his father. Who Jah bless, no one curse. You're destined to be a pilot from the foundation of the earth. God bless you Brother.

You are inspiration. God never forget forever in every situation

congratulations my friend of overcoming ur struggle n achieving the goal u dreamt of having. ..weldone to u ...n thanks to ur mentor for his help he gave towards u

Wow!! So inspiring ❤️😢

The story started very well, and then boom " I thank the guy who supposedly plans everyone's life, puts 1000s of people in shitty situations and then takes one or two out of inhumane situations just to show his powers" I would never thank someone so cocky and heartless. Thousands are left in the street, one is saved and the whole world thanks god? nope.

Inspiring...

Waah. Inspiration

Mashallah thank Allah for everything HE gives to us

Thank you for helping Michael. God reward you.

Nairob... nice story it makes me push myself so harder to persuit my dream of learning English as a second language.

This is heart warming

This is the kind of story I want to watch everyday

Very inspiring. Kudos.

Very inspiring 🙏🏽

Oh Nooo! Some people are gutless . Grabbing everything from a widow and Orphans and watching them suffer while you keep on enjoying their wealth 😥

Thanks BBC, I'm inspired.

I have met both Michael and Fredrick. They are amazing young men who run a feeding program for families living on the street, (also known as VIPs). Also, they take some of they young mums with babies and set them up in houses to get them off the street and teach them basic skills to help them earn a decent living. These guys are outstanding inspirations and I'm glad to see positive stories coming out of Africa.

Very inspiring indeed all must see.

Bless your heart to worked at it bravo kudos

I am glad that he found a passion in life to become a good pilot for 2019

Congrats 4 his success

Great video. Source of inspiration, don't give up on your mum, God will deliver her as you trust Him.
