Yesterday we celebrated the official opening of our school. A milestone we've worked towards with great care, dedication, and teamwork over the past few years.
Thanks to the support of our customers who choose Fairtrade flowers, we were able to start building the first phase of the school. Today, it provides education to 42 children, grouped into classes based on their specific needs: physical, visual, hearing or learning disabilities.

The children also receive a nutritious lunch every day, made possible by the support of Dutch Flower Foundation.
The opening ceremony was a special moment, filled with student performances, speeches and words of encouragement from Fairtrade Africa, Gonzaga Mungai, PMP®.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this possible — especially our involved colleagues, customers who choose Fairtrade and Dutch Flower Foundation for their continued commitment.
