Mari's Children was created out of a humanitarian response to the plight of the children impacted by the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in 2004. At the suggestion of then Art Farm parent and ABC News correspondent, Christiane Amanpour. Mari contacted a London-based relief organization in Sri Lanka. Since Sri Lanka, Mari's Children has expanded its work globally by funding initiatives for children around the world and right here at home through The Art Farm and The Green School.
