This two-year initiative, co-funded by the European Union (EU), aims to enable children, young people in a situation of parental neglect and mothers in a situation of single parenthood, to grow in the best possible conditions, despite an uneven path.
SOS Children's Villages of Morocco has developed, with the support of the EU, a project to improve the services offered in its 6 Social Protection Establishments and provided by its alternative care programs for children without parental support, through a closer monitoring of the psychological, educational and health needs of the 550 children cared for.
The Association has adopted an innovative, fun and educational tool called the Climate Fresco, which is available to 360 children and young people who will, in turn, become committed citizens, whether through their daily actions or in their choice of career path.
The project also aims to promote a quality approach based on the support and implementation of a methodology called "establishment project," and to prevent child abandonment through the creation of two new family strengthening programs in Agadir and Salé.
According to Beatrice Beloubad, National Director of SOS Children's villages, the project will help the association to implement a series of actions necessary to expand its fields of activity.
For his part, Amine Demnati, president of SOS Children's Villages said that this project is in line with the Integrated Public Policy of Child Protection in Morocco, established in 2015.
SOS Children's Villages Morocco is an association of public utility, placed under the Honorary Presidency of HRH Princess Lalla Hasnaa.
It accompanies daily nearly 850 children through 3 intervention programs: the long-term protection (20 years on average) of those who have lost their families, the prevention of abandonment among vulnerable families, and the socio-vocational integration of young adults.
