Sue Martin

Sue is a retired State Registered Nurse, who worked in Kenya for 17 years – in the foot hills of Mt. Kenya, where she taught first aid and community health – and with the nomadic pastoralists in the far northern deserts of Kenya. This involved working with women’s groups to help them set up small businesses and become more self sufficient, and also tackling issues such as early child marriage and female circumcision within the community. Together with her husband, Sue set up a charity – “Friends of Marsabit” – to raise funds and awareness for this large marginalised area of Northern Kenya.
