THE EUROPE TEAM

Seeing a child and their family turn the corner and become a family after months of therapy and support to help them learn to love their children, to see them actually accepting and loving them. It’s a special thing.

Suzy Butler

Founder / Managing Director

Suzy Butler imageAt 18, Suzy travelled to South America on a gap year to work with under privileged children. At 21, she founded Kiya Survivors and was driven by her passion for giving those born into difficult circumstances, a second chance.

Having worked with street children and other children suffering the effects of poverty and social dislocation throughout South America, she has extensive experience making a real difference to young people’s lives.

Suzy returned to the UK to set up a support and fundraising team in 2005 but returns to Peru every year to check up on the centres, open new projects/programmes and offer support to the onsite teams and families.

She is currently located in Spain setting up a wellness centre and Kiya Espana programme.

Lee Mizzi (Volunteer)

Graphic Designer
Lee has many years experience working as a graphic designer.

He originally got involved after responding to an advert placed by Kiya survivors in 2011 and, seeing the good work the charity does, he volunteered his design services to the charity.

7 years later he is still the man behind our marketing campaigns and designs and we couldn’t be more grateful!
