Changing the world,

Wanting it & Doing it


WHO ARE WE

Foundation Willen & Doen contributes to the fight against HIV and AIDS in Africa. The foundation originated from the passion of Wil Groot, who converted his WILL to help into a DOING IT.

Willen & Doen runs entirely on volunteers. Only our local employees in South Africa receive a small salary for their work.

In support of the board, a number of special groups have been formed with specific tasks. This way we can better divide the work and increase the professionalism of the foundation. We can also count on a large number of volunteers in the various actions we take.

If you think you can also contribute to one of these groups? Or in any other way want to use your energy or professionalism for the benefit of our foundation? Please send an e-mail to: willendoen@gmail.com.
