SACEN Foundation

SACEN FOUNDATION means Savings for Children’s Education Needs Foundation. It started as humble savings by Sr. Susan Clare Ndeezo and Fr. Grace Waigo in 1998 collecting money to support girls to prevent them from dropping out of school especially at Secondary level. Later on Friends from Germany and Spain provided steady support that to date helped over 300 children go to school. In 2020 Sr. Susan took the initiative to engage the beneficiaries of this sponsorship who have made life to career level to come together and continue such support for other needy children. Sr Susan also thought that this type of help to the needy should not die out with her as she ages. It should continue. In her retirement she is helping to ensure empowering education for all. So the primary purpose is empowering education opportunities for all regardless of the condition of the individual.
