Projects
At our current level of funding and volunteer help in managing the foundation aims, we foresee being able to carry out 2-3 substantial projects during the calendar year. These projects arise both out of the foundation actively looking for an opportunity to make a difference, or from being approached on a partnership opportunity that we believe makes sense, is feasible, verifiable and quantifiable. Our goal is to spend the full balance of our endowment each year and get projects up and running each year that will…do good.
Here is a summary of our current project work to date, starting in March 2007 with our first project:
Sebastian School in the Philippines
Tagbaya, Ibajay, Aklan, Republic of Philippines (March - June 2007)

Chicken Project in Kenya for school with Porridge & Rice NGO
Two schools in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, were identified for support (June 2015 - ongoing 2017)
Yellow Flower Foundation provided direct funding to Porridge & Rice for their amazing work supporting the schools of Nairobi, Kenya. Two schools were identified that would benefit to launch a sustainable feeding program. Specifically the project funded the construction of Chicken pens, buying of chickens both for meat, eggs, and to sell by the school.
