Projects
Together with Dutch Flower Group (DFG) companies, Dutch Flower Foundation seeks to connect with domestic and foreign growers and other chain partners. Most of our projects are requested by employees of DFG companies as well as business relations of our companies. The projects vary from a contribution to a sponsor run to a long-term project collaboration. We want to go more and more for longer term projects to realize more connection, visibility and impact for people. Below are a number of projects that have been financially supported in recent years
Support the children of the Ubrella Children’s Home with bouquet Flowers for Kenya
19.11.2024
The Umbrella Children’s Home in Nairobi houses more than 60 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.
