Our volunteers span every aspect of support, ensuring that the girls have everything they need to thrive.

Meet the people who make it happen each and every day
It is quite a challenge to make sure that over 70 girls are prepared, fed, and arrive at school on time every single day. Taking care of their overall welfare, which includes providing them with nutritious meals, academic support, and healthcare, while also instilling in them the values of respect, responsibility, and resilience, requires an exceptional team. We are fortunate to have a group of skilled individuals who not only share our vision but also devote themselves to ensuring that every girl has the opportunity to achieve financial independence.
What would we do without our house mothers and culinary team?
They’re the heart of MGRC, ensuring our girls are well-nourished, cared for, and empowered. Our house mothers play a vital role in this holistic approach, providing emotional support, academic assistance, and practical life skills. They are more than just caregivers; they guide, support, and inspire the girls to reach our full potential.
Our culinary team, led by talented chefs, prepares delicious and nutritious meals using fresh ingredients from our very own ecofarm. They also teach vocational cooking and baking classes, equipping our students with valuable life skills and a passion for food.
Together, our house mothers and culinary team embody the spirit of MGRC, fostering a loving and supportive environment where our girls can thrive.
