Financing

At the outset, our construction timeline was delayed due to several years of permits approval processes amidst opposition (read more here and here ). Compounding these hurdles, the unforeseen challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and escalating inflation significantly impacted our initial budget. Prior to 2020, this building was initially estimated at 5 million dollars to complete, now it has risen to an estimated 8+ million dollars. Despite these adversities, RKMCC commitment to this crucial project has not wavered. Construction on the new building commenced in May 2022 and is exclusively funded through contributions from devoted supporters and well-wishers, encompassing donations, loans, and participation in our diverse fundraising activities.
