Sandra Ruysenaars

Co-founder & Chairwoman of The Kenya Kesho Trust
Sandra was born and brought up in Kenya and is a retired hotelier.  Sandra spends all her free time talking about Kenya Kesho.
Sandra hated school from day one and only went to school to chat to her friends and to organize disruptive demonstrations against unequal treatment, unequal opportunities and unequal anything!
As life long Kenyans who have been successful business people and philanthropists Sandra and Peter have a deep understanding of Kenyan culture and society and are well aware of how they benefited from a good education.
Their combination of strong personal commitment, passion and pragmatism has meant that the Trust has operated successfully for over a decade.
As they transition from making a difference in the lives of individual students to making a wider difference at a community level by establishing The Kenya Kesho School for Girls there is no doubt that they will apply the same deeply ethical and hands-on approach to this project.
