ALMC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Arusha, Tanzania
Dutch Flower Foundation supports the ALMC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Arusha, Tanzania for several years.
Via Boudewijn Rip we came in contact with Stephen J. Swanson (Medical Director of the NICU).
After a presentation of him and a tour in the NICU, we where convinced to support the organisation.
Dr Swanson: In 2020 the NICU cared for 325 NICU babies. With a 93% survival rate using only appropriate technology for Tanzania and the basics of respiratory support, thermoregulation, and feeding. 83% of babies born under 1500 kg survived in our NICU- babies that would be unlikely to survive in other hospitals. Dr Swanson shares his knowledge and experiences throughout the south and east of Africa.
Dutch Flower Foundation is proud and thankful to support the NICU.

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.
