SheSustains is founded upon the beliefs of two like-minded women, Veena Joseph and Christy Aikhorin, though from completely different backgrounds, have a common vision to impact women in particular, by reminding them of their inner beauty, authentic talents and unique creativity. 

This non-for-profit initiative, based in The Netherlands, offers a safe space and ample time for reflection and sharing in the form of an annual Retreat and Sharing Stories that Matter events.  We believe through these get-togethers, we can support, inspire and nourish each other, on our individual journeys and collectively have sustainable impact in making our world better.

SheSustains is building a community fostered by friendships and sisterhood, by bringing together Dutch locals & institutions, foreign nationals, expats and their spouses as well as international students, thus acting as a bridge for exchanging cultures, experiences and ideas for collaborative ventures and social projects. It is our hope that women in this growing community form long-term friendships, collaborations and support systems that reminds them of who they are and build better versions of themselves as they forge on with their busy lives. 

We Empower, Encourage & Support each other, through Inspiring & Authentic conversations/Workshops, that remind us of our Uniqueness and Creativity.
