Based on the excellent results and positive impact our program has
had on the lives of many children and the local community, we
received the compliments of the Moroccan Minister of Education. It
recognized our center as the most successful Non Formal Education
program rolled out in the country. The project moved forward in 2013
with the construction of a school at our partner’s premises that is fully
dedicated to the implementation of NFE Program. The building can
count on all the facilities needed for an environment conducive to
high quality education such as workshop rooms, sanitation facilities,
well-equipped classrooms, kitchen and canteen.
From our Beneficiaries
Chaimae
“My name is Chaimae. I quit school for personal reasons years ago and I finally decided to join the Azrou Center after
a few years of being out of school. When I started studying I realized that the school was offering many professional
courses like hairdressing, wood engraving, cutting and sowing that
could be really interesting for me.
Last year, the center chose me among the eligible students to be
enrolled in the ISTA professional school in Azrou. The center paid the
fees for my registration and I was accepted for the design course,
a qualifying program that allowed me to get my secondary school
certificate. The period I spent in Azrou was one of the most important
in my life because it opened new horizons for my future.
Thank you!”
El Hassania, father of Wafae El Houam
“My name is El Hassania. I would like to thank you for taking care of our child and for the support you provided during
the period in which she was enrolled in your school.
You prepared her to be well accepted in the professional school of applied technology and you paid all the admis-
sion and school fees.
I am happy and very reassured for my daughter Wafae El Houam. Thanks to your support she can now look forwards
to a better future.
Thank you very much for the commitment you demonstrated towards the implementation of such a noble mission.”
