The Morigin Project

Long description

The Morigin Project offers an organizational system focused on the sustainable cultivation of Moringa Oleifera trees in rural villages in Sub-Saharan Africa with the goal of accompanying populations toward the development of health, social and economic conditions.

The core of the system is the Moringa Oleifera, a tropical plant: the chemical properties of the plant’s seeds offer an alternative, affordable and sustainable solution capable of counteracting and eliminate the reproduction of viruses and bacteria (e.g. Escherichia Coli) present in local water sources that cause severe cholera and intestinal infections. In addition to the purifying properties, the seeds and leaves of the plant contain a rich amount of vitamins and proteins such as to be classified as Superfood by the FAO; for this reason we raise awareness in the use of Moringa in local cuisine.

The Morigin system supports local farmer cooperatives by offering a new autonomous business model, providing them with all the resources they need to produce and sell the plant’s semi-finished products in the international market.

The Morigin Project is an emerging startup that has also developed with the help and support of a network of stakeholders and professionals in different fields (agriculture, engineering, chemistry, communication) who have contributed to the birth of this social initiative.
