The British Moroccan Society has been working for over 30 years with local Moroccan charities to improve the state of orphanages throughout the country, to provide basic equipment to centers for children in difficulty and to help create classrooms and accommodation for young women from villages where schools tend to teach until they’re 11.
To do this, the British Moroccan Society uses a variety of events in London and in Morocco to raise money and awareness. It has steadily increased its membership base to 200 and works closely with the Moroccan Embassy, the National Tourism board, Royal Air Maroc and a variety of local companies and interested parties.
We are planning to establish 10 Learning centers in various areas of Morocco, in the Toubkal region, Tafraoute, Ait bouguemez and others. We already have a presence in some areas but we intend to build facilities to accommodate a library and a multifunction room. The library will provide books in Arabic, French and English and computers. We will train a couple of local young literate women and men to be responsible for the upkeep of the books and equipment and of course to know how to use the educational programs.
Our first center (Photo opposite) has opened in Talatast village (60 km from Marrakech) in June 2010 and reaches the whole region. This means that over 100 children age 6 to 14 have access to the library where they can study, do their homework and read. Because this center is also educating women to read and write, as well as teach Arabic to nursery children, it will actually access a vast amount of people.
