Suzan grew up in rural areas of Mwanza Tanzania where there is not enough clean water. Like most women and girls in her community, she used to walk a long distance in search of water, which affected her school attendance. She witnessed some of her friends and family members who fell sick from using contaminated water, some dropped out of schools and others raped while struggling to find water for their families. 10 years later, after joining a university in a different region (Dar es Salaam and then Iringa), Suzan realized that the same problem still prevails and as a leader, she had to intervene to find a solution. Therefore in 2017, Suzan initiated the Afyaplus Organization mission on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) which aimed at preventing diseases caused by poor sanitation and hygiene in the community, while supporting children, adolescent girls, and young women.
