Supporting children in need

Rayonier Matariki Forests’ export team has been visiting and supporting a children’s orphanage in Southern India.

Rayonier Matariki Forests is proud to support Sowbhagya Illam Children's Home in Gandhigram, Nadu in India. For the past few years we have visited the orphanage to bring gifts for the children and also provided funds to improve the facility with the construction of bathrooms, pathways and an indoor play room. The orphanage cares for around 170 children ranging from two to seventeen years old.
