The Dandelion Philosophy is a socially conscious, global enterprise, run by a team of highly diverse, passion-fuelled, and purpose-driven leaders from around the world. We recognise that hunger is a symptom of poverty and a barrier to progress. Our work is driven by a desire to create lasting, positive change across the globe. We firmly believe in the power of intention. We understood the vision we wanted The Dandelion Philosophy to represent, and it was not to be just another charity. The world does not need more charity, it needs understanding, alignment, and intentional collaboration. “Kindness is not what we do, it is everything we are.” Everything The Dandelion Philosophy does starts with the understanding that once we have fed a hungry person, we can begin the dialogue with them about change and healing the harmful influences that have shaped their experience of the world for too long. Our strategic objective is to use our feeding to start the dialogue about exploiting education and skills training to change the circumstances of those living in poverty. Our model is holistic in the true sense and we consider all aspects of empowerment, including providing psychosocial support alongside training, to heal trauma and ensure our impacts are long-lasting. We use science and business strategies as a foundation for innovation and believe in the principle of circularity. We look for opportunities in every step of our work to educate, heal, mentor, and encourage growth as a means to resolving social challenges.
