PROJECT COLORS INTERNATIONAL
Origin of the Organization: Project COLORS International Society
Project COLORS International was created in 2004 in George, South Africa by co-founders Sunyata Angelina Burrell Choyce from Canada and Anke Bueshing from Germany. As young volunteers at a children’s home, they believed it was possible to do much more to help the children they were assisting by soliciting help from their family and friends overseas. They were prompted to take on this endeavor after observing first-hand how donations were not consistently reaching the children. Believing in the importance of direct humanitarian assistance, Project COLORS was born, creating a reliable and trustworthy vehicle of change-enabling donations and supplies that pass directly into the hands of those who need them most.
Project COLORS has greatly expanded from its humble beginnings, as people from all around the world have contributed and partnered on its projects. Project COLORS is run full time by its Executive Director, Sunyata Angelina Burrell Choyce. COLORS exists internationally, with major operations in South Africa and the principal donor country, Canada. www.projectcolors.com
