We are excited to announce a new collaboration between the Enough Project's Darfur Dream Team Sister Schools Program and the Rockflower Fund.
Rockflower is a new fund which seeks to transform the lives and livelihoods of women and girls around the world by connecting large funders in developed nations with organizations investing in women and girls in underdeveloped nations. Rockflower has chosen five key areas to focus on related to women and girls: peace and security, access to water, maternal and reproductive health, education, and financial independence. The Darfur Dream Team has been chosen as one of the first five organizations to receive support representing the key component of Education. Other selected organizations include The Institute for Inclusive Security, Water for People, International Medical Corps, and Women's World Banking.
Rockflower was founded by Christine Ward, a renowned social entrepreneur and founder of the Darfur Project, which was featured at the Clinton Global Initiative and has provided $17 million worth of medical relief in the region to date. John Prendergast, Enough Project Founding Director, is also on the Board of Advisors for Rockflower.
Rockflower was founded "... to enable previously untapped resources to flow into areas where success could be measured not just by a return on investment but by changes in livelihoods..." and "...to find a way to put the money directly into the hands of the women, to give them an opportunity to access their integrity and in doing so move millions into a new investment class, investing in themselves." - Christine Ward, Founder & CEO
