Dorothea Eijkman-Severiens aka. Madou
President
I arrived in Morocco, in Casablanca, in 1964, and I have traveled a lot in this wonderful country. In 2004, I decided to settle down near Tamesloht in order to open a place to welcome children in precarious situation. Spontaneously, the Fiers & Forts Center was born and evolves from year to year. It seemed obvious to me to create a link between my country of origin, the Netherlands, and Morocco, through this Foundation.
Lola. van der Burg
Secretary
I have been traveling between Morocco and the Netherlands since 2009, having created a women's cooperative there for the production of Ghassoul. Very soon I met Madou and decided to support the CFF first through my cooperative and now also in the Dutch Foundation.
Evelyn van Versendaal
Treasurer
When I first saw the Fiers & Forts Center, I immediately knew that I wanted to play a part in helping the children who need it most. Living in the Netherlands, it is only natural that I support the Eijkman Foundation.
Antoon Verlinden
Member of the Board
I was very touched by the warm welcome from the children when I first visited the little house where they were staying in 2004. Since then, I have been going back and forth with suitcases full of things needed for their education and organizing charity events to support the CFF.
Willem Steensma
Member of the Board
During a trip to Morocco in 2014 I visited the old Fiers & Forts Center. The current one was at the time still under construction. Since then, traveling often between Morocco and the Netherlands, I do my best to help both the Dutch Foundation and the Moroccan association, motivated by the well-being of the children.
Stanley Wibbens
Member of the Board
Living between our two countries and a lawyer by training, I really thought I could bring my energy, my knowledge and my enthusiasm to help the Foundation support the Fiers & Forts children.
