Karim passionately believes the lives of children should be valued, appreciated and their potential recognised and nurtured. He has spent time in Africa and Latin America working with charities that provide paths out of poverty for children and their families. Ensuring a child’s rights is what Karim considers should form the building blocks of any young person’s life, and he wants to further advance and amplify AfriKids’ sustainable, long-term impact in his role as a Trustee.
