==Early life==
Engo is the daughter of Judge Paul Bamela Engo (former UN ambassador, and currently of the International Tribune of the Law of the Sea) and Ruth Engo Tjega (President & Executive Director of African Action on AIDS, and formerly of the Office of the Secretary General, Special Advisor on Africa).
Engo began her philanthropic work aged five, when she shared her Christmas gifts with local handicapped children in her native Cameroon, West Africa. At six, Suzanne spoke at the United Nations General Assembly on World Children's Day as junior ambassador for Cameroon. She spoke at the UN each year until age eleven. When she was twelve, Suzanne and twelve other women (including women from the UN) co-founded an NGO called African Action on AIDS (AAA).〔 Engo raised funds for this organisation by creating "Jeans Day" at her dress-coded boarding school; (charging students a dollar for the permission to wear jeans). At its inception, AAA focused its efforts and resources on sending African AIDS orphans to local schools. As of 2008 AAA has consultative status with the United Nations, and has provided education and health services to HIV- and AIDS-affected young people throughout Africa.
