The two projects, requiring an investment of 11 million DH, will be carried out by the Mohammed V solidarity Foundation, illustrate the royal care for young people and the Sovereign’s determination to protect them against social risks and dangers, create the needed environment to encourage them take a larger participation in social life, and give them adequate training to promote their socio-professional integration.

     These solidarity projects confirm the multiple actions conducted by the Foundation nationwide to arm young people with the needed tools for their well-being and thriving.

    The rehab center for young addicted people, part of the national program carried out by the Foundation in keeping with the Royal instructions, and in partnership with the ministries of health and interior, seeks to fight consumption of drugs and other types of narcotics, mainly among teenagers.

    Like similar centers in other Moroccan cities (Casablanca, Oujda, Rabat, Tetouan, Marrakech, Nador, Agadir and Fès), the projected center will conduct awareness-promotion and prevention actions against narcotics consumption and will also give medical and social care to addicted people.
It will also seek, in this endeavour, an effective involvement of families in the prevention actions.

     The center will also seek to ensure social integration of the concerned persons, supervise and train associations in the fields of risks reduction by setting forth and developing field work with teens, young drug consumers and vulnerable young people.

     The center, to be built on 3,800 square meters, will comprise a social support and risk-reduction pole with screening, computer, sport and meeting rooms, a workshop for arts and dancing, a common room, an office for associations and a "mobile unit" office. It will also comprise a medical pole including offices for general physicians, and specialists in addictions, psychiatry, group psychotherapy, and psychomotricity, as well as a room for users of methadone (alternative to heroine), a social workers office and a pharmacy.

    The rehab center for young addicted people will require an investment of 5 million DH to be equally financed by the Mohammed V solidarity foundation and the interior ministry.
The association training and organization center meets the local associations needs for supervision, support and promotion through the training and consolidation of local associations skills, supporting young associations and cooperatives and promoting the activity of associations by consolidating and improving institutional potentials.

     Built on 2,900 m2, the center has a capacity of close to 2,000 recipients. It will consist of a lobby and exhibition hall, an office serving as registered address of newly set-up associations, a job-quest space, a computer room, an infography and communication room. It will also comprise four collective rooms, two training and seminars rooms, a school tutoring room, a foreign language-teaching room, a library-reading room, a cafeteria and administrative offices.

    The center will be built at a cost of 6 million DH, entirely funded by the Mohammed V solidarity foundation.
