Legacy

We started this initiative inspired by Wouter who strongly believed in health care as a human right. Wouter passed away on November 23, 2019 at the age of 32 due to the fatal consequences of the Lassa Virus that he contracted during an operation/resuscitation at Masanga Hospital in Sierra Leone.

With the Wouter Nolet Foundation we take him with us into the future. It will remind us of the way he was providing care and welfare for those most in need, with understanding and compassion.
