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

St Michaels Nyanzou Primary School in Zimbabwe
02.11.2021
Dutch Flower Foundation is proud supporter of St Michaels Nyanzou Primary School in Zimbabwe. Zimflora (a Dutch Flower Group company) facilitates this project in Zimbabwe. St Michael is one of the three schools within the community of Zimflora (a Dutch Flower Group company) they work with. One of the recent projects is the Learning Support Program. The objective of the program was to fund one learning support teacher to grade 3 & 4 students who are in need of extra learning support. It is great to hear that 14 children have already progressed through this program. With another 13 months ahead – we are positive that more children will benefit from this very important work the teacher is doing. We are grateful to support this wonderful long term project.
