"Sunflowers is an amazing non-profit organization in which I took part this year. I mentored a charming girl who lost her father several years ago. Together we traveled an amazing and empowering path during which I felt that she also supported me, not only that I supporter her. For me she was like a little sister that I take care of. It was an amazing and incredibly significant year for me"

Our Beliefs

"Love your neighbor as yourself"

Sunflowers acts for and in partnership with all sectors in Israeli society, irrespective of religion, race or sex. We believe that orphanhood - the grief, bereavement and pain, serve as the basis for love of others and mending social fissures.

Empowerment and acceptance

Sunflowers believes in closure, that there isn’t one side that gives and one side that receives. We believe that every person has the right to help after they were helped. Our aim is that every orphan who we helped in the past will have the opportunity to be the one who helps other orphans.

"A new social story"

Through our activity we create a different discourse in Israeli society. A discourse that believes in hope, compassion, gentleness, kindness and love, which in turn shapes better people and creates a better society.

Our Fundamental Premises

• Orphanhood, in all its forms, creates a decision juncture between creating a new world or sinking into the world of loss.
• We believe that with emotional accompaniment and social support orphans can be helped.
