    From Denis (Founder/Director)

    "Me myself I work as a Nurse and I found that,as everywhere in the World,the medical Area always needs a lot of Support.  I also think because of the Life Situation in Africa,we might need  more Support because many people are not motivated to join the medical Area because of less Salary in general. Join our Team and bring a very positive Impact to the Society,our Staff will help you hand to hand so that you can successfully finish your social Journey"

    Who are we / Our History

    Flowers is an Organizationi in Arusha ,Tanzania (North Tanzania) which is aiming to support Children,Youth and Women.

    With this Vision on mind and a lot of hard work, he succeeded in overcoming the difficulties and made the Organization into what it is today. He started first by supporting the Children Early Development in his own Daycare Center.

    In the beginning, there were no Toilets, no Playground and no Office. The food was prepared in a private Kitchen and three children had to share one Plate of food, because there weren’t enough Dishes to serve all the Children. Water had to be brought from a Tap of the neighbors by Buckets and there was no possibility of washing Hands or drinking Water.

    With the help of Volunteers and Donations we were able to build more Rooms, three Toilets, a storage Room, different play Equipment and a school Kitchen. Lots of other Volunteers helped to get the Buildings painted and help with other things
