Mission Statement
Problem
Education for All Morocco provides access to education for teenage girls from remote communities in the High Atlas Mountains. Due to the remote location of their villages, bad roads, lack of transport and poverty, girls from these communities have missed out on secondary education leading to generations of illiterate women and girls who are locked into early marriage, poverty and unable to realise their potential in life.
Solution
Since 2007, Education For All Morocco has been bringing an effective solution to this problem by building and running girls-only boarding houses close to the local schools. We now have six houses for up to 250 girls. We offer a cosy bed, three nutritious meals a day and a supportive, well-resourced learning environment which supports the girls to thrive in life as well as in their education. We also offer language support and extracurricular activities though our international volunteer programme.
Impact
EFA produced an Impact Report 2022 which can be viewed on request.
Boarding House Milestones
2007 : EFA rented a small apartment and provided accommodation for 10 girls. Latifa joined as our first House Mother 2008 : We built and opened Dar Asni 1 boarding house in Asni.
2009 : We rented a large house in Talat N’Yacoub for another 30 girls. This was EFA's 2nd boarding house, named Tinmel 1 in (Tlat-n-Yacoub is approx.100 km from Marrakech). This house has been rented on a long- term lease 2010 : We built our third boarding house in 2010 in Ouirgane, 60 km from Marrakech. This house was funded through long-terms supporters, Nigel Parker and Anne Bolitho.
2013 : EFA opened its 4th house in Asni which is a converted block of apartments and accommodates 40 girls
2016 : We built our 5th house in Asni, called Asni 3, which takes up to 50 girls.
2018 : We began building EFA's 6th house Tinmel 2 at Tlat-n-Yacoub, thanks to a generous single legacy donation by the Wynn family from UK in memory of Mark Wynn.
2019 : We officially opened Tinmel 2 in September 2019. With the opening of this 6th house (EFA’s largest) it allowed space for Tinmel 1 to undergo necessary refurbishments
2020 : Pandemic closes houses for 3 months: March-June.
2021 : Refurbishment of Tinmel 1 begins with a grant from Sandra Goyer and it reopens in September

The fundraising success was due to several factors:
-
A return to normality after 2 years of the pandemic which impacted some of our major donors in the travel industry. • The great work by EFA’s Fundraising Manager who focussed on building support through social media and crowdfunding through GlobalGiving.
-
Our loyal support base who gave one-off and monthly donations, and participated in our 4-times-a-year campaigns on GlobalGiving.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Internal and external factors
In December 2021, we witnessed the Passing of Cees Van Den Berg, one of EFA’s Founders and acting Treasurer for the EFA Committee in Morocco. We commemorated his passing as an organisation and publicly and received many messages of condolences. EFA will miss Cees and his incredible contribution to the setting up and management of EFA from its inception.
EFA supporter, Juanita Folmsbee, has largely fulfilled the role of treasurer informally since Cees’s passing and will take up the treasurer role formally for the Moroccan organisation. We are also moving all our organisational knowledge into a more centralised system and have recruited an Operations Manager to run daily operations, HR finances etc.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
