Ubuntu Mundo is very dear to my heart, the effectiveness of the project, the link to education and the focus to enable children to have a better start in life made me decide to give my support and advice.

As a Dutch citizen being born in Tunisia and with three young children who are Nigerian & Dutch, I have always been aware of the richness the world has to offer but also the responsibility we have and the inequalities that unfortunately exist.

I studied econometrics in Amsterdam and have an MBA from MIT Sloan School, in my professional career I invest and support companies who encounter challenges. Often the solution lies in motivating people by telling the story on why change or certain initiatives are needed. To help give strategic direction but also be there with the teams on the road in the execution. As my role as an advisor to Ubuntu Mundo I try to do the same.
This summer I visited one of the projects in South Africa with my children and it only confirmed what I already knew, our support is needed, it makes a real difference, and is delivered by the local teams with dedication, with a smile and with a true sense of humanity.
