Stichting Understanding, Education & Development (SUED) is a grassroots non-profit organization in Kenya, founded in 2016 with a mission to improve opportunities for children and communities through value-based education, personal development, and sustainable community initiatives.
In 2026, SUED established a sister organization in the Netherlands, SUED Netherlands, to strengthen & support our work and expand opportunities for sustainable community transformation.
We work with rural schools across Nakuru, Kericho and Bomet Counties, reaching children and communities. Our school-based interventions seek to go beyond academic learning. We envision communities in which every child has the opportunity to learn, develop and build a better future, regardless of where they grow up.
We strive for a healthy society and a healthy environment.
Our ambition is therefore not simply to provide short-term solutions; rather, we aim to contribute to sustainable progress built on local knowledge, participation and responsibility.
