We provide financial grants to get girls to school in low resource environments and keep them there
We fund projects globally under $5,000 AUD that are making an impact on girl's educaiton
We go through an extensive due diligence process before selecting programs for funding
We empower local organisation to run the projects on the ground for their own communities
We ensure that every project that we help to fund meets rigorous criteria that align with our Vision, Mission, and Values.
An economically sustainable world in which gender equality, justice, and freedom can flourish.
To empower girls through education.
Justice, Equality, Integrity, Transparency, Compassion, and Empowerment
Education can change lives. Girls and young women who are educated have a greater awareness of their rights, and greater confidence and freedom to make decisions that affect their lives, improve their own and their children’s health and chances of survival, and boost their work prospects.
Sunflower Foundation does not have a board, but instead a committee that is 100% volunteer. We work hard to maintain low overheads so we can dedicate as much of the funds as possible into projects.
If you have questions about the organisation or are interested in getting involved, please feel free to get in touch through our contact form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

On International Women’s Day this year, we are announcing the exciting new project that we are funding in 2021.
The impact that this project will have is immense and we are really looking forward to helping them reach their educational goal.
Keep an eye out for the project and get ready to help us continue to fund incredible programs.
The project aims to develop the skills of 500 marginalised rural girls annually, to promote literacy, food security and environmental stewardship by establishing a safe environment for girls from 7 rural primary schools.
Funded $5,000 AUD
In Bungoma County, situated in the Western part of Kenya, 117,000 children aged 8-15 are orphans. We intend to change that for 600 girls & young women, by encouraging both formal and informal education whilst empowering participants to avoid the risks of early pregnancies, early marriages and female genital mutilation.
Funded $3,000
The goal of the project is to help free girls from harmful traditional practices and attitudes that deny them education while exposing them to abuse. Our second goal is to disrupt the poverty cycle through education.
Funded $6,500 AUD
