PHILANTHROPIC MISSION
Susan alongside her remarkable professional achievements, is a devoted wife and a proud mother of two children. Her youngest child has cerebral palsy, a condition that has shaped her personal journey and inspired a deep commitment to helping children with disabilities.
Her single family office will significantly increase its philanthropic initiatives and related investments, extending their efforts from America to Africa and other emerging countries worldwide.
Her approach is deeply rooted in the belief that empowering women and children is key to driving sustainable development and fostering global progress.
Her goals are very much in line with the United Nations 17 goals with a specific focus on:
Global Focus on Children’s Education
Susan’s commitment to children’s education transcends borders, addressing the educational needs of children in Africa and other emerging countries. By ensuring that children, regardless of their geographical location, have access to quality education, she aims to lay a foundation for a more equitable and enlightened global society.
Women’s Empowerment as a Keystone
Susan firmly believes in empowering women as pivotal agents of change in households. Her mission is to help women worldwide to excel personally and professionally by enhancing women’s financial, investment, and wealth literacy, leadership skills, and educational opportunities, and strengthening their roles as key influencers.
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Building sustainable cities and communities is essential for ensuring a high quality of life and a healthy environment for future generations. Susan’s initiatives are dedicated to creating urban and rural spaces that are resilient, inclusive, and environmentally friendly. These efforts focus on providing safe and sustainable living conditions, particularly for women and children, in emerging countries where urban development often lags behind.
Specialized Support for Children with Disabilities
Recognizing the often-overlooked needs of children with disabilities in emerging countries, Susan’s initiatives include tailored educational programs and resources. These efforts are designed to create inclusive learning environments and offer the support these children need to succeed.
Affordable and Clean Renewable Energy Water
Understanding the critical importance of environmental sustainability, Susan supports renewable energy and clean water projects in Africa and other emerging countries. These initiatives not only address immediate needs but also contribute to long-term environmental health and sustainability.
No Poverty and Zero Hunger
Poverty eradication is a cornerstone of human development, and Susan’s initiatives are dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty in emerging countries. These initiatives focus on creating sustainable economic opportunities and providing essential resources to lift individuals and communities out of poverty. By empowering women and children, who are often the most affected, Susan’s efforts aim to foster self-sufficiency and resilience.
