Hello! My name is Sophia and I am your new little friend. With Monkey in one hand and you in the other, we can achieve anything. We stand strong together! 
#TakeCareofSophia
Since December 2019, Little Dutch is a proud ambassador of the Friends of Sophia Foundation. What started with a donation of a wooden scooter for the charity auction of the foundation grew out to a beautiful contribution to the improved care for babies and children and the Erasmus MC-Sophia Chrildren’s hospital.
About the Friends of Sophia Foundation
In most cases a pregnancy ends with the birth of a healthy child. Unfortunately, this cannot be taken for granted. On average 1 in 20 children is born with a disease or abnormality. And about 1,400 children a year die in the period around birth.
The Friends of Sophia Foundation raises funds for extra research into treatment methods. The foundation supports projects that are designed to make a hospital stay as pleasant as possible – both for children and for their parents.
With the donation of Little Dutch the foundation will fund the Mother & Child Centre of the Erasmus MC-Sophia Children’s Hospital. This centre holds all disciplines to provide complex care and to create an optimal environment for the development of the sick child, from the pregnancy wish to the first four weeks after birth.
This year the center will focus on the treatment of children in the womb. This enables the fetal care department to start diagnoses and treatment before a child is even born. It will give the babies a better chance at life and avoid premature delivery.
