Ayushi Chandaria was born into what some might call a world of opportunity.

Her father, Neal Chandaria, is Kenya's honorary consul to Singapore, while her grandfather, Manu Chandaria, is one of Kenya's renowned business gurus, having built a multi-billion dollar business empire.

But from an early age, Ayushi's heart was filled with compassion.
