Meet our Team
Our team is made up of loving, passionate individuals who care deeply about each of our Sunflowers. We are so thankful for each of them and the wisdom they bring to our team.
Bree
Bree is the founder and co-leader of Sunflower. After spending years at a wonderful school for children with disabilities in Melbourne, Australia, Bree’s heart for children with disabilities brought her all the way to Uganda to continue the call God had on her life to love those most vulnerable.
Peace
Peace is a CBR (Community Based Rehabilitation Worker) from our local community. Her desire is to see each of our children have access to all the tools and equipment they need to be a part of their local communities. Peace’s passion to care for those with a disability was cultivated through caring for her brother, who himself had a disability. We are so grateful for her quiet care and commitment to our Sunflowers.
Gloria
Gloria is a loving mama to a sweet son with cerebral palsy. Her focus is to visit caregivers of our sweet Sunflowers and share in time of honest conversation and for those who desire it, Bible study. Her calling is to help support and journey with other caregivers who also experience the highs and lows of having a child with a disability. We are so grateful for her gentle and wise care for our caregivers.

Her passion is to help each of our kids to learn and grow in their lives through play based learning. She is their biggest encouragement and champions each of them with affection and enthusiasm.

We are so thankful for her sweet encouragement, expertise and skills to help everything run smoothly behind the scenes.
