Kinderdienstencentrum De Lotusbloem
Dutch Flower Foundation has committed itself for 3 years to children’s service center De Lotusbloem in Aalsmeer (part of Ons Tweede Thuis foundation) with an annual contribution. The first contribution was used to purchase a ‘4-senses acoustic chair’. This chair reduces environmental stimuli, allowing you to relax in your own safe environment.
An employee at OZ Planten in Aalsmeer (part of Dutch Flower Group), told Ferro van Dam about our foundation. His daughter Nova is 5 years old and has multiple disabilities and attends a wonderful school called De Lotusbloem.
About De Lotusbloem
De Lotusbloem is a foundation where children with a combination of disabilities can go for support and education. It is a place where children receive a lot of care, can develop themselves and above all, they have fun and enjoy life. Ferro van Dam: “It is also a place that provides some peace of mind for the families of these children. All of Aalsmeer can be proud of this school!”
There are many products on the market that can make the lives of the children a lot easier and more fun, but often they require just a little more money than is available in the foundation. Therefore, all help, such as from Dutch Flower Foundation, is welcome.

Dutch Flower Foundation 2025
22.01.2026
It’s almost the end of January, and as we are working on our 2025 annual report, it gives us a moment to look back at all the special projects of last year. We are grateful that we were able to support various projects in China, South America, Africa and Europe. Most often helping those who need it most, vulnerable children, but also lonely elderly people and people who need support with their most basic needs. We could not do this without our contributing partners and all Dutch Flower Group companies. 🫶
Foundation Ushersyndroom
06.01.2026
A colleague informed us about the Ushersyndroom Foundation. In the Netherlands, around 1.000 people have Usher syndrome, which can cause them to gradually become deaf and blind.
3FM Serious Request: action for Spieren voor Spieren
19.12.2025
This year, 3FM Serious Request is taking action and raising awareness for Spieren voor Spieren. Many children dream of becoming veterinarian, teacher, or professional soccer player. But what if you can’t run after a ball or even hold a pen. Because your muscles simply no longer cooperate or stop working altogether. With very serious consequences, there are 20.000 children with a muscle disease in The Netherlands.
CE CAMILO in Colombia
13.10.2025
Through a colleague, we learned about CE CAMILO in Colombia. CE CAMILO is a foundation that provides education, rehabilitation, and support to people with disabilities in the poor neighbourhoods of Barranquilla. The foundation started in 1998 with a day care center for fifteen children with disabilities from poor families and has since grown into an organization that provides care to more than 2,500 people with disabilities every year.
