Give Today!
Help save the lives of the most disadvantaged, at-risk Maasai girls
MGRC empowers young Maasai girls in Tanzania who are orphaned and/or living in abusive conditions to break the cycle of extreme poverty and oppression by providing them with a safe and nurturing new home with access to education, immediate and ongoing medical care, daily nutritious meals, and critical life skills training.
Our mission: to transform the lives of the most vulnerable, at-risk Maasai girls in Tanzania
Our philosophy: lend a hand up, not a hand out
Our work: offer Massai girls a sustainable path to break a debilitating cycle of child-mortality, extreme poverty, starvation, FGM, and forced child-marriage.
Through your support: MGRC provides a safe and nurturing environment for these girls to receive farm-fresh nutritious meals, an education, immediate and ongoing medical care, vocational and life skills training - empowering them to become independent, self-sufficient women.

Last year, while on safari with Boniface Plasidi for my wife’s birthday, we stopped here for about 1 hour. My wife and I enjoyed seeing all the girls, and meeting some of the staff (one of whom lives near us in Virginia). I wanted to leave the girls with a trick, so I showed them the “sliding thumb” trick. The center does amazing things for girls; please keep up the good work.

I am donating in honor of my husband, Joel Hayes. Joel passed away March 15, 2022 after a 10-month intense battle with cancer. Rick Morro has been a good friend to Joel, and our family, over the past years. Joel was grateful to have had the privilege of visiting Rick and the girls in February 2020. Since that time until his passing, Rick and Joel connected regularly, with Rick sharing stories about the girls, progress being made with the center, and songs from the girls. The prayers, songs from the girls, beautiful signs and cards made by the girls, and regular check ins with Joel during his cancer battle lifted him, myself (his wife) and our three children. Maasai Girls Rescue Center was a true blessing for Joel and will always hold a special place in our hearts.
