Morocco Annual Back to School Fundraiser 2020
As in all communities of the world, our education programs in rural Morocco have had to adapt to the current global pandemic. In March, we closed our doors for Morocco’s extensive and strict confinement. We continued some programs virtually and our management team took the time to prepare for the eventual ‘reopening’ with government mandated protocol.
In the beginning of October, with government approval, we reopened all of our education programs and our new Middle School Tutoring program. Our classes are small to accommodate social distancing, hand washing is required upon entering our classrooms, families have signed contracts stating they will not send kids to the program if they or anyone in the family is sick, and of course, masks are obligatory.
We have also reopened our Women’s and Girl’s Empowerment education program.
The community is grateful that ACF is open and providing this educational support!
We are currently fundraising for our rural Morocco education programs for the 2020/2021 school year. $10,000USD pays for the following programs – management, teachers, materials, classrooms and utilities:
- Elementary School Tutoring program for 5th and 6th graders in all general subjects.
- Middle School Tutoring program for 7th, 8th and 9th graders in French language, science, math and English language.
In 2012, when we started our education initiative, the students in the region had the lowest test scores of the entire province. Your continued support is making a significant difference in education. Our students continue to have the highest test scores in their province.
