Sophie is also the Director and owner of residential and supported living accommodation for children in the UK and works as an independent social worker

Her particular passion is to see children in rural areas thrive, achieve and reach their full potential. Her vision is to  to see that these children, especially the girl child, be afforded access to all the resources that they are entitled to and need for their education and entire holistic development. ' I feel this way children will be moulded into future leaders, effective contributors within their communities, responsible citizens and positive change ambassadors.

She also owns some Boutiques in the UK. 

Sophie fully subscribes to Nelson Mandela’s conviction that 'without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role develop their country."
