OUR HISTORY
SUSAN SAVE LIVES FOUDNATION is a non-profit and non-political establishment initiated by Susan Nandwa based on her childhood experiences. The organisation is in charge of a feeding programme for underprivilged primary school pupils in Ebutayi and Eshitoyi Primary School in Western Kenya.
Susan formed the organisation after sharing her experiences with members of the community in Ostend, Belgium. The organisation was registered in December 2008 and it intends to support as many children as possible.
She thought of forming the organisation after going back to Kenya to visit her family and the villagers. While in the village, She noted that the problem of school children going to class on an empty stomach still persisted.
“I saw the problem in the eyes of the children,” says Susan. It was not easy for her because she knew that the children were going through the same problems she had experienced.
Her experience of going to school on an empty stomach, lack of school fees, slum life and other problems reminded her that she was obliged to make a difference in the lives of the children.
Shunned by relatives and friends after dropping out of school and engaging in odd jobs, Susan had vowed not to let any child go through the same intricacies.
She was touched with the plight of children back in her village and thought of how she could give back to the community and how best she could assist the poor children to pursue their education. It was then that the idea of forming SAVE CHILDREN OF HOPE ORGANISATION was hatched and got the backing of community members in Belgium.
