Our Vision

One Step Closer to Our Goal

RCC has contracts with SDG Architects Inc, BKF Engineering, Ground Zone, TJKM and Tarrar Utilities firms for the design of the Master Plan of its multi-use campus. The design of the Master Plan has started, and had the preliminary review of its proposal with the City of Oakley.

The budgeted cost of the master plan design and entitlement is $558,000.00 and Alhamdulellah we have raised this.

RCC is getting an Agricultural water well for immediate and long term need with a cost of about $40,000. We have raised about $20,000 and are in need of $20,000.

Please donate generously and advocate to others to do the same in this very rewarding opportunity.
