Supporting Maasai girls

100% of the revenue from the Maasai Culture Center and ecoLodge directly supports the Maasai Girls Rescue Center.

By visiting the MCC, you’ll not only immerse yourself in the rich traditions of the Maasai people but also contribute to a vital cause.

The Maasai Girls Rescue Center, located in the heart of the MGRC ecoVillage, empowers Maasai girls by providing a safe space to escape the dangers of abandonment, abuse, female genital mutilation (FGM), and early marriage. Your visit helps fund essential programs that empower these young women, offering them education, healthcare, and opportunities to reach their full potential.
