Transforming lives beyond handouts
Let’s face it, some charities don’t work — at least not traditional charities for Maasai girls in East Africa
Reliance on handouts
Despite receiving $500B in aid over the past decade, many Africans remain impoverished and reliant on handouts.
Hinder sustainable agriculture
Free food has devastated local farming and food industries, hindering sustainable agriculture growth in East Africa.
Struggling small businesses
Free clothing has devastated the local apparel manufacturing industry and left African retail shops struggling to survive.
These reliant missions are not providing a path to self-sufficiency for the Tanzanian community.
Maasai Girls Rescue Center is not a traditional African charity
Instead of handouts, MGRC gives a hand up.
Adopting proven business techniques and developing personalized education and vocational training plans for each girl, MGRC’s vision is to eliminate the need for giving and replace with financial independence and long-term success. At this innovative girls center, we rescue the most at-risk Maasai girls in the community and replace a handout with a hand up.
MGRC’s sustainable social enterprise is making a difference
MGRC operates as a non-traditional African charity for Maasai girls, functioning as a social enterprise with the core objective of empowering every girl by offering them a path towards financial independence and an improved quality of life.
Distinguishing ourself from a typical African charity,
- MGRC operates with no administrative expenses
- Has implemented rigorous financial and business frameworks
- Ensures that 100% of donations directly benefit our girls and their supporters
We have established processes and systems to consistently achieve successful and efficient outcomes, always prioritizing the well-being of the girls in every decision.
Devoted to empowering Maasai girls
MGRC is dedicated to rescuing and transforming the lives of at-risk Maasai girls by providing food, clothing, shelter, medical attention, counseling, education, and vocational training in a loving and safe environment. Our goal is to change the mindset surrounding the value of Maasai girls and break the cycle of poverty and oppression in the African community. We prepare these girls to become strong, independent women and future community leaders with the skills needed for success in various fields.
Raising a Maasai family of 70+ girls
House mothers accomplishing the unthinkable, each day.
Our Maasai family of over 70 at-risk Maasai girls receive love, a nurturing childhood, and a sense of purpose. We ensure they attend school daily and live in small groups with house mothers as parental figures. Our ecoFarm provides a sustainable food source of nutritious food for them to eat together.
- We recognize the importance of teaching girls essential life, leadership, and interpersonal skills for their success.
- We proudly teach Christian values, laying the groundwork to help children understand the basic teachings of Jesus Christ.
- We create personalized development plans for each girl based on her interests, talent, and skills to maximize her success in professional careers, small business ownership, or trade excellence.
- Like any family, everyone helps with daily chores.
We share meals, play together, learn together, and celebrate together – just like any loving family. Because we are a family.
