## TO OUR SUPPORTERS,
Thank you to all our supporters who have allowed us to help Moroccan families at their most vulnerable moment, and to ensure that other families do not experience the same difficulties. Special thanks go to Penny Appeal, our British charity partner whose collaboration has ensured that Centre Amane’s work has continued to set new standards of excellence.
The Covid-19 pandemic created some huge challenges to our being able to continue our programmes: social work is hard to enact without social contact. Thanks to the courage and resilience of our teams, we were able to maintain our networks, support people through hard times, and emerge from multiple lockdowns with our vision and values intact. If anything, the restrictions of the pandemic have given us inspiration to be more creative and connect with people. The web platform created as part of the Bidaya Kawiya project for care-leavers has reached three-quarters of a million people, providing essential knowledge and understanding for and about a group of young people which receives very little other support.
We have gone on to make new connections and new friendships, forming a research partnership with Swansea University that allowed us to develop new insights on our work and share them with a new and wider audience. This partnership has also led us to Tunisia, to share our experiences with like-minded social workers who face the same challenges, and to see how our different approaches can be mutually educational.
The spirit of learning and development through partnership that informs MCT and FAPE’s work now carries that work across international boundaries. But we still ensure that families in Taroudant Province can access emergency assistance when they need it, that organisations across Souss-Massa can continue to build their capacity to support children and families across a socially and geographically diverse region, and that through our continued advocacy we shape the national conversation on how a social protection system that works for all children and families can be built.
MCT and FAPE bring many people together to improve all their lives, mine included; I commend this report on this year’s work to you.
## With Gratitude, Moroccan Children's Trust Team
**1**
**OUR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS & SUPPORTERS**
Thank you to our major funders, supporters, international businesses, and donors who have contributed to our organisation. Because of your generosity we can support the most vulnerable in Morocco.
## **OUR LOCAL PARTNER**
Since 2014, the Moroccan children's trust (MCT) has worked closely with its Moroccan partner, Fondation Amane Pour La Protection de L'Enfance (FAPE). Our unique partnership with FAPE provides Moroccan expertise and knowledge in all of our projects. Together, we share a vision in developing systems to protect children from violence and neglect.
FAPE primarily works from Centre Amane, a social centre in Taroudant. Together, we have gained international and national recognition for our work in child protection. MCT staff along with FAPE social workers implement our projects and commit to the following:
**Coordination** between public and political bodies in the region with the objective of creating and implementing an effective child protection system.
**Advocacy** and **awareness raising** regionally, nationally and internationally about issues that lead to marginalisation and social exclusion.
**Reinforcement** and **mobilisation** of local and international volunteers in support of humanitarian development.
We collaborate with local actors and government leaders in child protection. A **participatory approach** shapes the ways we work with local stakeholders when:
designing and implementing project ideas; and understanding the needs of children and families, gaining the support and expertise of local professionals such as judges, lawyers, teachers, and health professionals,
seeking long-term impact through policy change.
**2**
## OUR VISION & MISSION
Our vision is to create a **safe and fulfilling environment** in which vulnerable children are able to **thrive and grow** ; a Morocco in which children and families living in poverty or disadvantage can count on effective and appropriate support to help them realise their potential. To achieve this, we will continue to work in three key areas at the local level: social work with vulnerable children and their families; **development of child protection systems** throughout the region; and supporting the **improvement of the national birth registration system** .
Our mission is to support and improve conditions for vulnerable children and their families in Morocco. We draw upon both Moroccan and international expertise in social work, paediatrics, education, safeguarding and children's rights. Moreover, our work continues to play an important role in shaping Morocco's newly established child protection system.

## CENTRE AMANE Social Work
Centre Amane supports children and families to stay together. We strongly believe in and advocate for **deinstitutionalisation** , the idea that children thrive best in a safe and loving family. Therefore, at Centre Amane we provide a range of services shaped by our five pillars.
**45 Children GIRLS21 BOYS[24]**

**WOMEN AND MEN IN OUR PROGRAMS**
**156**
## **Our Approach**
## **The Five Pillars**
## The Five Pillars
Our social work approach ensures we provide **holistic** social services. We build on the principles of **relational** social work and ensure there are clear **transitions** from our entry points to our exit points. This is framed by being **childcentred** and family-focused and always ensuring to be **professional** in our practice by respecting best practices in child protection regarding confidentiality, transparency, and accountability.
## Meets international standards for wellbeing and equality
Following the standards set by the **UN Convention of the Rights of the Child** , MCT adheres to a strict child protection and safeguarding policy. Our social work aligns with the **UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)** , most notably in promoting health and wellbeing, quality education, and gender equality.
## **What Sustainable Development Goals do we focus on?**
## Sustainability and Collaboration
We innovate and **advocate** for lasting change towards a child protection system that will impact on future generations. The voices of children, families, and all staff members are integral to our work and the heart of our programmes which are **participatory** and strive for evidence-based action.

## Participatory 4 oe ae Women's Group
Participatory women's groups foster **positive parenting practices** and reduce rates of child abuse, neglect and abandonment. The Participatory Women's Group provides a **safe space** for those who face stigmatisation and ostracisation in the community.
**17 REGULAR PARTICIPANTS**

The first stage in the health support service offered by Centre Amane entails ensuring children and families are insured through the free national government health insurer RAMED. When children and families are insured they are able to receive free or heavily subsidised healthcare.
**113 VISITS TO HEALTH SERVICES**
## J Social Integration
Our social workers **liaise with teachers** to support children in their schooling. We also integrate children into **extracurricular activities with local associations** , such as the youth centre _Dar Shabab_ **.**

**MEETINGS WITH TEACHERS AND COACHES 135 9**
## **A Women's Group Case Study: Hakima**
_Hakima moved to Taroudant from her rural village when she became pregnant. She was estranged from her family because of the stigma attached to being a single mother. With few connections and speaking only Tacelḥit, the only work available to her was in taboo areas. She began to use illicit substances and was aggressive to those around her. Hakima's child was malnourished and was often left alone on the streets._
_Our Women's Group enabled Hakima to gain autonomy over her life. When Hakima and her daughter were integrated into Centre Amane, their social work plan included one-to-one social work and psychologist sessions, and Hakima joined the Participatory Women's Group. Hakima was initially very defensive and aggressive toward the other women, but thanks to the understanding of her peers in the Women's Group, Hakima gradually began to participate more in the group. She had the opportunity to discuss subjects such as sex education, developing skills, confidence and parenting methods._
_Today, Hakima has stopped using illicit substances and has a stable income. Hakima has a better understanding of how to care for her children by preparing healthy meals and taking them for regular medical check-ups. She also draws on Centre Amane's subsidised access to childcare whilst she is at work._
**10**
Advocacy and outreach are **essential** to conducting the services of Centre Amane. They raise awareness of our services to other child protection professionals and general community members, including street-connected children and their families. This is vital for our referral system and allows effective collaboration to support plans that take advantage of the formal and informal sectors of the **child protection system in Taroudant.**
**487**
**MEETINGS WITH LOCAL ACTORS**
## **Meetings with Local Actors**
We conducted 487 meetings with local actors in 2021. While **teachers and school directors** make up the largest number of meetings, we also met with **the authorities, tribunals, other local associations, and the general community.**
**115**
**STREET PATROLS**
## **Street Work**
Once lockdown restrictions were lifted, we were able to go back to running patrols with additional patrols conducted with the Ministry for Labour and Professional integration, to identify cases of child labour in Taroudant. In 2021, we conducted **115 patrols** .
## **Referrals**
**232**
**REFERRALS RECEIVED**
In 2021, we processed 194 referrals. Most referrals come from **community members** or **walk-ins** . This shows us that our outreach efforts are making an important impact on the community. Significantly, many of these referrals were a direct result of the community link created through the Participatory Women's Group activities.
**11**
The lack of an official identity card affects almost every aspect of the lives of unregistered Moroccan children. They are assigned to a lifetime of **secondary citizenship** and are unable to access social services to which they should be entitled by birth. At Centre Amane, the process of ID Registration has become part of **our core social work practice** which supports the reintegration of families into society.
## An ID case study: Zeina
_When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, Zeina and her husband Mourad found themselves struggling to support their family financially. As Zeina's birth was never registered, she had no ID documents and had been unable to register the birth of her children. Without ID documents they were unable to access government services. No ID also meant that Zeina was unable to enrol her children at school._
**21**
**INDIVIDUALS SUCCESSFULLY REGISTERED**
**108**
**ID CASES WORKED WITH IN 2021**
_Zeina was referred to Centre Amane by a friend, and we appointed a social worker specialising in ID registration to work with the family. He supported Zeina in gathering the necessary legal documents and submitting the request for ID papers for herself and her children. This included gathering a comprehensive family history and visiting the hospitals where Zeina, her parents and her children were born to file for birth certificates._
_In 2021, Zeina and her children received their ID papers and the children were able to resume their schooling._
**12**
## Vivre en Famille
In 2021, FAPE's ongoing project funded by the French Embassy, Vivre en Famille, continued to work with families and local stakeholders to raise awareness of the social services available in Taroudant. We led a series of workshops with local service providers on collaboration for child safeguarding.
## Social Work Project with the Social Ministry
In 2021 MCT and FAPE launched a project with the Ministry of Solidarity, Women, Family and Social Development of Morocco. The project works alongside the services provided by Centre Amane, focusing particularly on cases of child streetconnection and single mothers.

## **CASE STUDY:** RAHMA
_Rahma was in an abusive marriage with a husband who was not contributing to the family. Rahma found it difficult to raise her three children with no support, and as such they were often left alone or on the street. The children were struggling at school and were living in an abusive home where they felt unloved and undervalued._
_Our work with Rahma consisted of providing her and her family with social work support. Rahma was integrated into the women's group, and her children began to attend school support sessions and extra-curricular activities at Centre Amane. The close-knit community that Rahma found at Centre Amane provided the support that she needed to be able to leave the abusive relationship. We supported Rahma in establishing her own business, a small breakfast café, which has been very successful and now provides her and her family with a stable income. With tutoring at Centre Amane, Rahma's children have begun to enjoyschool and achievegood grades._

## Protecting Children from the Dangers of Child Labour
In collaboration with the Ministry of Labour & Professional Integration, this programme aimed to prevent child labour in Taroudant. We conducted workshops at local schools, and with parent associations and local union members. We also created a steering committee of local stakeholders. We also joined the labour minister on their weekly patrols, and children identified were integrated into Centre Amane's referral system.

## **CASE STUDY:** HAMZA
_Hamza, aged 12, was identified during one of our patrols working at a mechanics garage. Following a series of visits and conversations, our social worker approached Hamza and his family. Through our collaborative agreement with the Ministry of Labour and Professional Integration, we opened an investigation into the case. This initial investigation revealed that Hamza's parents were not his biological parents and that they had pushed him into work to contribute to the family income._
_Once integrated into Centre Amane, our social work team worked with Hamza, his family and his employer to enable Hamza to return to school. The outcomes of this intervention were a programme to develop Hamza's employer's awareness of child labour and the termination of Hamza's employment at the garage. With the support of social workers, Hamza was reintegrated into school. This was achieved by our team of social workers working with Hamza's family to support both the mother and father to find stable work and incomes._
_Hamza is now working hard at school and receives support from Centre Amane's tutoring service. He also has been integrated into the extra-curricular sports classes provided by Centre Amane_

## Foster Care
FAPE's foster care programme provides a family-based alternative care solution for children who would otherwise be placed in institutional care. Within a family environment, we are able to ensure that our foster children can access health care, psychological support and education. The foster care programme is made possible thanks to our sponsorship programme and our monthly sponsors, who are committed to giving the gift of a loving home that every child deserves.

## **CASE STUDY:** MAROUANE
_Marouane entered our foster care programme in 2021. After living in an institution for many years, our social work team carried out a needs assessment to ensure that he would be provided with the appropriate support to grow and thrive in a foster family._
_Oncewe were ableto identify Marouane's needs, he was matched and placed with a foster family. After successful placement into his new family environment, we were able to identify Marouane's needs further, notably in education. We found that Marouane struggled in school, which is not uncommon for children living in institutions. The social worker also noticed that Marouane struggled with his speech, further impacting his ability to read and write. In response, we sought support from a speech therapist, and Marouane began weekly sessions. Marouane was diagnosed with dyslexia. This allowed us to create targeted learning plans in collaboration with his foster parents and teachers to ensure Marouane's specific educational needs could be met._
_Our foster care programme provided an opportunity for Marouane to receive learning support in a stable and loving family environment, something that would not have been possible otherwise for a child living in an institution._

## Bidaya Kawiya
In partnership with UNOPS and funded by the European Union, FAPE and MCT implemented a programme working with young people preparing to leave residential care. In 2021, we moved beyond our geographical region with a national impact through the launch of the Bidaya Kawiya website. The website offers a permanent space that provides advice and resources for care-leavers, written in the Moroccan dialect, in addition to providing resources for child protection actors to support young people leaving care.
**750,000 VIEWS ON VIDEO CAMPAIGN**
**20% POST-CLICK RATE FROM SMS CAMPAIGN**
**2000 PROFESSIONALS TARGETED**
**19**
To ensure long-term sustainability, we launched the Bidaya Kawiya website; **www.bidayakawiya.ma**
The Bidaya Kawiya website is the first Arabic language website for care leavers to access resources and advice on life skills, such as time management, foodshopping, cleaning a house, accessing health care, renting, finding a job, building and maintaining relationships.
## **Raising Awareness**
To launch the website and raise awareness of the experiences of care leavers we developed a social media video campaign across Facebook and YouTube. Our video campaign consisted of three videos targeting:
**General Public** - We've all been there, now imagine doing it alone
**Care Leavers** - Having a plan and a route
**Professionals** - Supporting care leavers

## 7 : **The Way** : Towards f i7 || A Hope and Employment ny for Women and Youth
- In 2020, FAPE and MCT began The Way hl my4 project with the Middle East Partnership _ Initiative (MEPI). This programme provides women in Souss-Massa with the social support required to access training and % work. Women are given the opportunity to gain the skills needed to support their children and career goals.

**CASE STUDY:** AMINA
_Having fled an abusive marriage, Amina was divorced and living at her parents' house with two young children. Financially dependent on her parents, Amina wanted to become self-sufficient so that she could support her family. Amina felt isolated, alone, and powerless to change her situation._
_The Way programme offered Amina a way forward through social work and employment support services, as well as a developing a close-knit community of women with similar life experiences to her own. Amina began a training programme in a hotel school in Agadir, giving her the skills to become a professional chef and a basic understanding of hospitality._
_After several months of training, Amina joined an organisation, first as an apprentice and now as a full-time instructor, where she teaches Moroccan and international cooking and pastry-making to more than 20 women. Amina is working hard, determined to provide herself and her children with the opportunity to thrive and be happy._

## Koulna Maa Baadna
In 2021 FAPE and MCT launched the Koulna Maa Baadna project, the first mapping of Souss Massa. Funded by the European Union, the project aims to understand the strengths that exist in each community and how to capitalise on those strengths in order to reinforce local capacity. The first year of the project has consisted of our five teams implementing a series of activities in five different provinces across the SoussMassa region with the goal of identifying and mobilising child protection assets within the community, civil society and government services.

**CHILDREN PARTICIPATING**
**23**
In 2021, Koulna Maa Baadna was launched in the five communities of **Biougra, Ouled Teima, Taroudant, Tata and Tiznit.** We identified the ways different professionals from different sectors carry out child protection, but also the ways the general community, children, young people and people with disabilities contribute to the system through the existing formal and informal mechanisms.
We conducted the following activities across the region:
- Workshops and focus groups with frontline workers, managers, government representatives, adults with physical disabilities, lay community members, and youth aged 14-20.
- Interviews with parents and carers of disabled children.
- Community awareness spaces.
- Meetings with government representatives.
- Drawing competition with children ages 6-13.
We used the following methods to map the child protection system in each community:
- Asset-Based Community Development
- Participatory Action Research
- Systems Approach to Child Protection
These methods were applied through different exercises and activities, one of which was a ranking exercise (pictured right), where participants were asked to rank factors that make children feel safe and unsafe within their community.
We also adapted our tools for activities with children by asking them to draw what active citizenship means to them (pictured right). For us, children feeling safe within a community starts with them being able to be active citizens.
In 2022, we are drawing on the results to develop mapping toolkits in Arabic, French and English.

## Advocacy & Capacity Building
## Mouvement Enfance Maroc
FAPE is a founding member of the **National Mouvement Enfance Maroc,** a network of approximately 200 members working in child protection across the country. During 2021, the collective worked on a report analysing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children in Morocco, due to be published in 2022. Research projects like this are crucial to give child protection actors a greater understanding of the climate within which they are working and the ever-changing needsof the children their servicesprotect.
## Réseau de la Promotion des Droits de l'Enfant
We are also the joint founders and leaders of a regional collective – **Le Réseau de la Promotion des Droits de l'Enfant** – consisting of approximately 100 members working with children in the Souss-Massa region. The network serves as an opportunity to raise awareness of good child-protection practices. It encourages these practices in all levels of civil society and the private sector through training sessions and workshops.
## The New Generation of Child Protection Champions
FAPE held a two-part seminar series and workshop on Participatory Action Research, the role of academics and Child Protection with students at **AlAkhawayn University** in Ifrane. Over 150 students participated.
**25**
## **Research Improving Practices**
**Strengthening relationships for child protection across the Maghreb: Promoting knowledge-sharing and building capacity for research between the United Kingdom, Morocco, and Tunisia.**
Building on our previous GCRF/UKRI funded research – Improving child welfare in southern Morocco: engaging with local families and stakeholders to develop safeguarding and fostering policies (IMPact) – we sought to develop research, strategies, and interventions to respond to child abuse and neglect that can be replicated in Morocco and Tunisia, throughout the Maghreb region, and in other Low- and Middle-Income Countries.
Our research consisted of workshops with women
and child protection professionals in Tunisia,
(pictured right) with the aim to:
- 1.Foster knowledge-sharing and relationshipbuilding within the Maghreb
- 2.Gain an understanding of the key factors that contribute to child abuse, abandonment, and institutionalisation
- 3.Directly contribute to the development of further projects
- 4.Build and strengthen innovation capacity
We were also fortunate to be able to host Professor Sana El Mhamdi in Taroudant and learn from her workshop on child safeguarding in Tunisia (pictured below).
## **Volunteer Project**
We host local and international volunteers, experts, researchers and youth to support our programmes and provide valuable international exchange for the children. Many volunteers choose to stay, volunteer again or become part of our larger international team. [VR1] In addition to generously donating their time and skills, all of our volunteers share a common commitment to advocating for social justice and children's rights.
