Description
Rockflower is a venture philanthropy fund connecting global philanthropic capital to local initiatives in emerging economies seeking to improve and elevate the lives of women and girls. Rockflower was founded on the premise that we need a new economic paradigm – one based on the logic of mothering. You do not need to be a woman or a mother to practice the art of mothering, but you must understand and carry out its basic tenets - tolerance, compassion, empathy and a nuanced approach to risk and reward. We direct investment to highly impactful programs and services through the framework of the Five Keys of Maternal and Reproductive Health, Education, Access to Food and Water, Economic Empowerment and Peace and Security.
