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.

Her Pad, based out of Mwanza, Tanzania
This project strives to enhance menstrual hygiene management education and access to sanitary pads for 1,000 rural school girls (aged 11 and older), and helps these girls manage their periods comfortably and safely while at school. This in turn increase their school attendance, self-esteem and self-worth resulting to improved academic performances. The girls will be given a reusable pad and will be given the tools and knowledge to make their own pads. There is also an educational element for the male teachers and students at the schools to learn more about periods to help normalize them. |
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.

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.
