Our concern is the immediate.
We want to make sure that kids are not hungry and no child is turned away.
Sunflower Kids was created in 2013. What has evolved continues to astound us.
Sunflower Kids is a nonprofit organization working in East Africa. We partner with StepByStep Daycare to honor our mission of providing hungry kids with food and education. Together, we fill little bellies, providing the energy and brain power, to fully participate in their education. Educational sponsorships are facilitated for young scholars. We value our personal connection with the kids. We visit them at school, on the street and in their homes. We know their caregivers and teachers. They know us.
The impact is significant:

The impact is significant:
- 40,000+ opportunities to eat annually.
- Sponsorships and education for about 50 scholars attending English Medium School and college.
- Partnership with StepByStep Daycare to provide a Montessori inspired foundation for 50+ preschool age kids. The daycare’s mission is to provide a safe nurturing space for youngsters who come from food and otherwise insecure living circumstances.
- Weekend and holiday meals for 30-70 neighborhood kids.
- Help with medical emergencies.
- Warm clothing and blankets.
- A safe and nurturing place where kids can watch a movie, do a craft, read, play football, or just hang out with friends.
- Assistance for young girls/women with education and personal hygiene supplies; thus providing more opportunity to stay in school. Our girls who were just little when we started are becoming young women.
- Teacher and staff salaries.
- A program for volunteers and staff to produce products to sell in the USA. All proceeds return to feed and educate the kids
The satisfaction I get from helping this wonderful cause is indescribable. Helping these kids is on my mind every day. This will happen to anyone who joins Judi in her mission.
