Education for All - Morocco - Zamzam sponsored NGO

We received the following invitation a few weeks ago to support one of the charities that we support at Zamzam. We were very excited to see the good work that was being done and to visit the boarding house for poor girls that had been built and was being run, it is called Dar Asni:

The girls are chosen through a selection process of Education For All. The selection criteria is mainly poverty and drive to achieve.

Once the girls are awarded a place. They are welcomed to the boarding house where they stay as one big family with the carers and their school fees are paid to the local school. The house was clean and amazingly had a common room with 3 computers connected to the internet for them to use with their homework etc.
The girls are each given a bunk bed in a dorm and a wardbrobe. They are very proud to have their own wardrobe and as you can see are immaculately tidy. A lesson for our own kids to learn. Respect your space.
