Susan Laker

Project Manager in Kampala Uganda

Susan is a phenomenal woman, who proves that nothing is impossible. Susan is a survivor of cancer and tuberculosis, and is HIV positive. At the age of 13, Susan became pregnant. But these obstacles did not stop her! When she became too weak to crush stones in the quarry with her children, she started making jewellery. Aidah and Stella (together with Susan they tun 22STARS) became back in 2009 her first customers. With the money Susan earned, she went back to school! Susan learned English and when she met Stella again in 2012 she told her to help her set up a webshop for her jewelry (22stars) to sell abroad. A couple of years later we started the foundation of which Susan is the project manager in Kampala and helps many more women and children. Susan has three children, aged 19,21 and 23. Susan loves cooking, dancing and making jokes.
