School Construction El Haouz

Today, we face a significant challenge, but also an opportunity to change lives and

rebuild hope. In our rural community, the recent earthquake has left behind debris,

but most importantly, an emptiness in our hearts: that of a school, the cradle of so many dreams and aspirations.

In this remote and marginalized area of the Haouz region,

Ait Hakim Community, Ait Zayed School, TARIQ IBN ZIYAD Branch of the Ajaan Circle,

every child matters, every educational opportunity is precious. That is why our association is committed to rebuilding this school, not only as a building but as a symbol of

resilience and renewal for our community.

We know the road will be long and fraught with obstacles, but we believe in our collective

ability to overcome them. However, to successfully carry out this mission, we need your

support. Your contribution will be a catalyst for change, a symbol of hope for a community

in great need. A cornerstone of this reconstruction, an investment in the future of our children and our community.

Together, we can transform this tragedy into an opportunity for progress and solidarity.

Together, we can rebuild more than just a school: we can rebuild lives and hopes

ContextAND OBJECTIVES

In the wake of recent devastating seismic events, numerous schools have been severely damaged, depriving thousands of children of their access to education. To address this urgent crisis, Morocco Foundation (MF) in collaboration with Association A Better Tomorrow (ABT), has received approval from the Academy of the Ministry of National Education (MEN) of the El Haouz region to undertake a school reconstruction project using concrete. The objective is to provide durable and secure infrastructure, essential for ensuring a conducive learning environment for the children’s development

Preliminary Steps :

Before initiating the reconstruction process, a thorough needs assessment was conducted in close collaboration with the Academy and local authorities. This approach allowed for the identification of the specific priorities of each affected site. A construction expert was hired to perform an in-depth analysis of the locations and to develop a detailed reconstruction plan. The objective is to ensure that the new structures meet the highest safety standards while guaranteeing their optimal functionality

Beneficiaries and Impacts :

The direct beneficiaries of this project are the 80 students and 3 teachers of the Tmouselt primary school in Ait Hkim. This school, which served approximately 200 students before the earthquake , will regain a safe and suitable learning environment, essential for their academic and personal development. Beyond these direct beneficiaries, the families and the local community will also benefit from this project. Indeed, the continuity of education will strengthen community resilience and contribute to the overall development of the region

The total estimated budget for the project is 700,000 MAD, encompassing the costs of construction, procurement of materials, transportation, installation of concrete classrooms, as well as expenses related to school equipment and winter kits for the students.

We are seeking your financial support to bring this essential project to life. Your contributions will be crucial in rebuilding educational infrastructures, ensuring a safe learning environment, and providing the necessary equipment for the well-being of the students. Your generosity will have a direct impact on the resilience of the affected communities and on the preservation of education as a fundamental right for all
