Summary

24-year-old NTU student Sufi believes underprivileged students deserve equal access to education. That belief led him to found BrightGuides, a free tuition programme in partnership with the Muslimin Trust Fund Association for lower-income students. But beyond teaching, the work comes with challenges, from securing government grants to helping children whose parents may not have the bandwidth to focus on their education. With graduation and full-time work approaching, can Sufi continue balancing it all?
