Meet Sofie Dewil

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”12″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]

As mother of 2 sons, Sofie is an accountant and tax specialist, active in the family business. Since her children are growing older, Sofie started to use her experience, energy and drive to contribute to the growth and development of others. Her passion for Africa has been strongly rekindled in recent years. Climbing Mount Meru marked a turning point. She discovered the strength and inspiration to translate this passion into concrete actions, not just for herself, but especially for her African fellow human beings.
