Today, our founding partner Willemijn Verloop is featured in the leading Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant. In their ‘Changemaker’ series, she shares a story that feels more relevant than ever. About holding on to hope, even when the world feels darker by the day. And about why waiting is never an option.
At just 23, she founded War Child—an idea sparked in a Bosnian shelter, where she saw how something as simple as music could offer children a moment of hope amidst war. Today, that same belief guides her work with entrepreneurs building solutions for people and planet: real change begins when we believe in the strength and resilience of people. ❤️
Yes, in a rapidly changing world, democracy and peace feel more fragile than ever.. Yes, there are nights when even the most hopeful lie awake. But that’s exactly why we need to act—braver, faster, and with more belief in each other than ever before.
