MGRC was founded by one person with a vision but has since grown with the support of generous contributors, sponsors, and local residents. The organization has formed strong connections with the community and talented individuals from Tanzania who share its principles. Today, the entire MGRC enterprise is managed by these Tanzanians, with Rick Morro in an advisory role.

MGRC continues to grow, and we are pleased to welcome our new team members.
