Albert Klomp
Member of the Supervisory Board“The future belongs to the youth” is a well-known saying, and in many economically disadvantaged countries, young people make up a significant portion of the population. It is essential that these young people can develop fully to truly make a difference for the future. Terre des Hommes is committed to this. It is an incredibly important task, which I wholeheartedly support and, as a supervisor, am also committed to personally.

Member of the Supervisory BoardAs adults, we have a duty to take care of our children. In some places in the world, children are not taken care of. Instead, they are exploited.

Margreet van Steijn
Member of the Supervisory BoardNo one should exploit children. A heroic approach is needed to get this out of the world. I am happy to contribute to giving so many children a better start in life.

Joost Schutte
Member of the Supervisory BoardIt is the open-mindedness in children that often affects me the most. And children who are exploited can no longer look at the world open-mindedly. That is why I am glad that Terre des Hommes stops child exploitation and that I can help with that.

Tjipke Bergsma
Member of the Supervisory BoardChildren’s rights are still being trampled on. The worst violations of these rights are exploitation and abuse. Terre des Hommes has been fighting for children’s rights with heart and soul for years and I am happy to be able to contribute to this through a role in the Supervisory Board.
