Community commitment
The name Quiver Tree Projects refers to the quiver tree, found mainly in Namibia. A tree that grows more slowly than most, yet can live for hundreds of years — tough, adapted to a harsh environment, and surprisingly resilient. An image I recognise myself in: companies and organisations don't build a strong digital foundation in a single year either — it takes time, patience and the right choices.
My family and I love to travel far and wide. The name Quiver Tree Projects isn't a coincidence — it's inspired by our trip through Namibia, where we first came face to face with these remarkable trees. If we ever won the lottery, we'd open a lodge there and raise rhinos — until then, we'll keep traveling and dreaming.
Go Forest
On a trip to Peru, we saw firsthand the long-term effects of years of deforestation. Through Go Forest's reforestation projects, we try to play a small part in restoring nature there, and in offering a new future to the people who live there.
Go Ocean
In 2020, the famous Covid year, I discovered the underwater world for the first time together with our children. Since then, we try to fit a few dives into every summer holiday, and with every dive our fascination for the animals and plants you encounter down there only grows.
But we also saw with our own eyes what climate change and fiercer storms do to coral. That's why, through Go Ocean, we support a coral restoration project: a small contribution to restoring what we so love to admire.
