I'm Nicole from Elteren. I was born in 1986 and grew up in the Netherlands. I have a bachalor degree in International Fashion Management and have worked nearly 4 years for an international clothing brand as a merchandise planner. By 2012 I went to Malawi for a short mission trip . Once back home I couldn't settle down, I kept thinking about Malawi and decided to quit my job and to go back for a year to see what God had plannes for me. God's plan turned out differently than the plans I had.

Currently I'm living for more than 10 year Malawi. I started my own organization and support vulnerable people (orphan)children in and near Lilongwe. The Afriana house has room for approx 20 children who are placed in homes by the Lilongwe district social welfare. I'm sending a team of 14 local people who take care of the children.

I have ... myself 3 Malawian girls adopted. Diana and Maria both born in 2012 and Teleza born in 2019. Teleza was born with a serious heart defect, which means we can often be found in the Netherlands.
