10p Would Save a Life

The Suzy Fund began in 1975. The girl in this photograph died on a rubbish dump in Ethiopia, minutes after it was taken. When the parishioners of St Peter and Paul Parish in Wakefield West Yorkshire saw this image they named the girl Suzy, and under the leadership of Brian Hazell, a parishioner, they have now raised £600,000 for third world projects. As little as 10p can give a child a hot meal, these children are lucky to have three meals in a week.


The Suzy Fund is run entirely by volunteers and overheads are kept to an absolute minimum.

If you too would like to help The Suzy Fund, please visit our
