About us
Dutch Flower Foundation (DFF) aims to improve the living conditions and well-being of people in need and in particular children. This will focus on countries where Dutch Flower Group (DFG) companies are active with an emphasis on connected community projects. Through the activities of DFF, DFG gives substance to its responsibility for the world in which we live.
Promising Projects
We support around 50-70 projects annually. Most of these on request from employees of Dutch Flower Group companies as well as from business relations of our companies. The applications vary from a contribution from a sponsor run to a multi-year project collaboration.
Support the children of the Umbrella Children’s Home with bouquet Flowers for Kenya
19.11.2024
The Umbrella Children’s Home in Nairobi houses more than 65 orphans who urgently need a safe environment, care and education. Without this orphanage, the children would be living on the streets. This orphanage is currently renting the land, but there is a good chance that the lease will just be terminated by the landlord. Fortunately, they now have the opportunity to buy an adjacent piece of land, but for that they urgently need financial support. Therefore, together with the companies Van Dijk Flora, E-Flora and the DFG production location in Kenya, we have set up a joint action to help the orphanage.
