Susie Younger obituary

Susie Younger
In 1959 Susie Younger moved to South Korea, where she set up an initiative to provide safety and shelter to street orphans Photograph: from family/none

My sister Susie Younger, who has died aged 88, spent much of her life helping poor and disadvantaged people in South Korea; she had moved there from Britain in the late 1950s.

Working mainly with the Roman Catholic church in the city of Daegu, she helped to bring orphan children off the streets, set up a girls’ home and vocational training centre for women, and trained up local people to produce cheap food. In 1969 she wrote a book on her early experiences in Korea, Never Ending Flower.
