We purposely and intentionally prepare the girls for a future of financial independence and self-sufficiency by developing a well-documented personalized plan for each girl that aligns with their personality, interests and talents. In fy 2024, we completed all phases of the mgrc ecovillage and are now caring for 73 girls at the center. The mgrc ecofarm supplies 100% of our vegetables and protein. We completed 60% of our next phase which is the mgrc ecolodge, with plans to be fully sustainable by 2027.
