A Surrey man abused during childhood by his Catholic school house master is donating ?30,000 awarded to him in compensation to pay the school fees of 50 children at an orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya.

The survivor, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was one of ten victims targeted by convicted paedophile David Lowe at schools in London and Yorkshire between 1978 and 1984.

His lawyer, Tracey Emmot of Emmot Snell in Bedford, said: "It's that sense of justice and making something good come out of all this which has driven my client who has made the donation to the orphanage.

"From all the bad things that happened to him as a child, he can use the money to make a difference to other children's lives."
