Sue Chung Chiu Middle School was named for the school sponsor’s mother. Hazel and Albert Fong sponsored the school, and went all the way to Mali for its opening way back in 2008. Ten years later, the school is still going strong. Today it is one of three schools participating in our pilot Girls Project.
The leadership of Empower Mali was part of the leadership and board when the Sue Chung Chiu Middle School I was approved and built. We are honored by the long-standing impact it has had upon the community of Simidji.
