Dutch Flower Foundation donates again to Sher Ethiopia Hospital

The materials for developing x-rays are very difficult or impossible to obtain in Ethiopia. Thanks to the investment in this digital module, manual development is no longer necessary and the doctors are able to do their jobs faster and easier. The Sher hospital in Ziway, which serves as a local hospital, treats over 100,000 patients each year.

Supported by the management of Dutch Flower Group companies The Floral Connection and Van Dijk Flora, Dutch Flower Foundation was able to contribute €10,000 towards this second investment at the hospital. This is a great example of working together on a more sustainable supply chain, from the heart.

At the Trade Fair in Aalsmeer, this amount was symbolically handed to Mrs. Lulit Tadele Demissie, Director of Sher Ethiopia PLC, by Marcel Zandvliet (chairman DFF) together with Hans van Ree (CEO, The Floral Connection) and Stefan Verhoeff (Managing Director, Van Dijk Flora).

Afriflora Sher has the world's largest rose farm in Ethiopia. Spread across three locations, the whole greenhouse complex has a total surface area of over 500 hectares. Every day, 13,000 people work hard to grow the roses found in various supermarket chains in Europe.
