Magarini Children Centre
& Organic Demonstration Farm
Caring for the Land, Caring for the People
Who we are!
Magarini is a unique project that offers a home to vulnerable children and youth while at the same time working with the wider community to address the underlying problems of poverty, social breakdown and land degradation.
Our History
As a farmer I started the project by providing food for children who missed school because they did not have food at home. As a result, the children left their own homes to fend for themselves – basically looking for wild fruits from the nearby bushes and forest. The problem of hunger was very widespread in the community. These were mostly children from the neighbourhood who I would see playing under the cashew nut trees near my farm. Their plight touched my heart so I began giving them food and gathering them together to teach them as much as I could given my busy schedule as a subsistence farmer.
What we do
Our mission is to create meaningful solutions that solve real-world problems and make a positive difference in the communities we serve.
Children Centre
At present the organization provides a home for 348 children, 92 of whom are orphans.
Organic Demonstration Farm
Our 8-hectare demonstration farm is a hub for community learning for thirty surrounding villages.
The Community

Our Board of Governors provides strategic leadership and oversight, ensuring that our organization remains aligned with its mission, values, and long-term vision.
