Al-Kifayah Farm at Markaz Nur


Al-Kifayah Farm- A mini farming project for Orphans at Markaz Nur, Labo-labo, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao

Markaz Nur is located at Labo-labo, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao. It was established in 2004 with the help of a Saudi philanthropist. It shelters 32 boys and 25 girls. Currently, 5 teachers take care of the orphans for a monthly salary of P2500 or RM185. According to them, since the markaz's opening in 2004, they never received any assistance whatsoever from any organization whether government or NGO. Aside from financial constraints experienced by the teachers, the markaz is also in need of educational materials.

The children and teachers extend their warmest gratitude to the donor.
