The mission of this program is to support the women of Morocco who have suffered greatly in society. This program will highlight to volunteers the plight of women’s rights in Morocco. Living in a male-dominated society, many women in Morocco are illiterate and lack the opportunities to develop this (and other) fundamental skills. The project aims to educate girls and young women who are otherwise deprived of education and training. Volunteers teach women and girls English and provide skill-oriented training by assisting in workshops. Ultimately this helps to improve the women’s standard of living, their self-confidence, and encourages them to be independent and generate an income. This is a hugely rewarding program, and input from volunteers can be clearly seen translated into real life-changing skills for the women this project supports.

Goals of this Project:

  • Provide essential care and support to vulnerable women
  • Improve the future prospects of disadvantaged women through education and skills
  • Improve the self-confidence of women and the ability for them to take charge of their lives
  • Enable inter-cultural exchange which benefits both locals and international volunteers alike.
