My Name is
Susanna

Susanna
Susanna’s mother died within a month of giving birth to her. Her father abandoned her and was then reported to have died. Susanna's elderly, impoverished grandparents struggled to care for Susanna in a very poor village, and they sought help. Susanna arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2005. Susanna would like to study journalism at a university. She says education is important because it helps us develop mentally and morally. Susanna says God has made Himself known to her personally through both His Word and the beauty of creation. She continues to pray for humility and to show God's love to others. Susanna says she has been inspired by Rafiki's founder, Rosemary Jensen, and her love and care for others.
