Summer of growth has officially arrived at the Maasai Girls Rescue Center (MGRC) in Tanzania! It is filled with excitement, learning, and transformation. From June 6 to July 8, our girls are on their school break—and instead of slowing down, they’re diving into hands-on activities that build confidence and self-reliance.
🎓 Career Center Launches a Summer of Growth
This year’s Career Center Program is packed with enriching skills that empower our girls for life beyond the classroom. These workshops are not only fun—they help the girls envision futures as entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers in their communities.
- Baking & Breadwork
- Sewing & Tailoring
- Cooking & Nutrition
- Computer Literacy
- Gardening & Animal Care
- Math & Business Basics
- Hairdressing & Personal Care
“Every new skill is a step toward independence.”
— Rick Morro, MGRC Founder
🏊♀️ Learning to Swim at the New ecoLodge Pool
With the ecoLodge pool now completed, swim lessons are officially underway! Not only do these sessions provide fun and exercise—they are essential for water safety, a critical life skill for our girls.
👶 A Joyous Welcome: Baby Davin is Here!
We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of a new member of the MGRC family! Our beloved director Elisante, along with his wife and daughters, welcomed their son Davin Elisante Laizer—a healthy 7 lbs 7 oz (3.5 kg) bundle of joy.
“New life is a reminder of the hope we build every day at MGRC.”
Congratulations to the entire family!
👩🍳 Real-World Skills in Action
Cooking with Confidence
Thanks to weekend classes led by our ecoLodge chefs, the girls are gaining hands-on culinary experience—learning to prepare nutritious meals and discovering their inner confidence.
“When I learned to cook for others, I started believing I could care for myself.”
Embracing Technology
Digital literacy is crucial in today’s world. Our girls are learning essential computer skills, from typing and email to creating documents and presentations—setting them up for future success.
