Who We Are

At the Susman Foundation, we are the architects of a brighter future for Africa. Founded in 2013 by Dr Shamsuddeen Usman, our mission is clear: to unlock the potential of African children, nurturing them into the leaders who will transform our continent. We believe that by focusing on education, health, and leadership, we can create a ripple effect of positive change that will shape generations to come.

Our Values

The Susman Foundation is built on a bedrock of innovation, empowerment, and integrity. We embrace forward-thinking solutions while staying true to our community roots. Our work is driven by a passion for excellence and a deep-seated belief in the potential of every individual we serve. Through transparency, accountability, and collaborative spirit, we strive to create lasting, positive change in Africa, one life at a time.

The Mission

Africa's future hinges on the success of its youth. The Shamsuddeen Usman Foundation (SUF) was founded in 2013 with a singular focus: to empower children to reach their full potential. We believe that by investing in their health and equipping them with essential skills, we are cultivating the leaders of tomorrow. Through our programs and initiatives, we strive to create a brighter future for Africa.

Focus Areas

At the Susman Foundation, we channel our efforts into education, health, and leadership development. We believe these pillars are crucial for nurturing Africa's next generation of changemakers. From primary schools to universities, from community clinics to innovative health programs, and from mentorship initiatives to cutting-edge technology centers, we're committed to creating a holistic ecosystem of growth and opportunity across the continent.
