Because of your generosity we can support the most vulnerable in Morocco. ## **Northwick Trust** **The Constable Foundation** ## **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. A small British charity that works to uphold and protect the rights of all Moroccan children ## OUR OBJECTIVES **(1)** To advance the education of the public in subjects relating to sustainable development and the protection, enhancement and rehabilitation of the environment. To promote studyand research in such subjects providedthat the useful results of such study are disseminated to the public at large. Sustainable development means "development" that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". **(2)** To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25 living in Morocco by providing advice and assistance and by organising programmes as a means of: (a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals; (b) advancing education; (c) reducing unemployment; (d) providing recreational and leisure activity in the interest of social welfare for people who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances, with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons. **(3)** To carry out any purpose for the benefit of the public in Morocco which is charitable according to the law of England and Wales, as the trustees in their discretion decide. **3** ## FINANCIAL OVERVIEW ## **TOTAL INCOME:** £131,578.80 **TOTAL EXPENSE:** £116,646.18 _The Moroccan Children’s Trust has a policy on holding reserves._ _September 2021 - August 2022_ Below is the total cost associated with running Centre Amane, shared with our in-country partner FAPE.

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. **50** **78 Children GIRLS30 BOYS[48]** **WOMEN AND MEN IN OUR PROGRAMS** **233 REFERRALS PROCESSED** ## **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. **8** ## Participatory Women's Group Participatory women's groups foster **positive parenting practices** and reduce rates of child abuse, neglect and abandonment. In 2022 we implemented **29 workshops** . The Women's Group provides a **safe space** for those who face stigmatisation and ostracisation in the community. **34 PARTICIPANTS** ## Support to Access Health Services 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. **71 VISITS TO HEALTH SERVICES** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## 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_ **.** **180 MEETINGS WITH TEACHERS AND COACHES 1315 9** 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.** **763** **MEETINGS WITH LOCAL ACTORS** ## **Meetings with Local Professionals** We conducted 763 meetings with local actors in 2022. 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.** ## **Street Work** In 2022, we conducted **137 patrols** . Street patrols are conducted throughout the week, allowing our social workers to strengthen our informal relationships with the local community and to identify children who are street-connected. Through our street patrols social workers receive new referrals that need processing at the Centre. ## **Referrals** **137 STREET PATROLS** **286** **REFERRALS RECEIVED** In 2022, we received 286 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. **10** | a. 7- Civil Registration ——————— A ww & Legal Aid 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 **42** services to which they should be entitled by birth. At Centre Amane, the process of ID Registration has become part of **our core social INDIVIDUALS work practice** which supports the reintegration of families into **SUCCESSFULLY** society. **OBTAINING CIVIL REGISTRATION** Civil Registration Case Study: Siblings **140** _Rachid (15yrs), Hussein (12yrs), Mohamed (11yrs) and Amine (9yrs) are four siblings who never obtained their civil registration. Their_ **CIVIL** _parents, who had never been married, moved frequently from city to_ **REGISTRATION CASES** _city looking for better opportunities and each sibling was born in a different city._ **WORKED WITH IN 2022** _In March 2022, the director of the school where Rachid was studying reached out to FAPE, requesting support for Rachid's family to obtain his birth certificate. A Centre Amane social worker conducted a home visit for the family and learned that Rachid had other siblings who also didn't have their birth certificates. After a few months of working with the family and after numerous meetings with public institutions and associations working in the cities where the siblings were born, we collected the necessary documents for each child's case and succeeded in obtaining all of the children's birth certificates. These complexe cases of siblings are not uncommon and require intense social support to the family as well as coordination with legal actors across the country._ **11** | : ## Foster Care FAPE's foster care programme provides a family-based alternative care 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. **12** **10** **516 COMMUNITY MEMBERS ATTENDED WORKSHOPS** **SPONSORS PROVIDING CHILDREN WITH A LOVING HOME** **CHILDREN IN FOSTER FAMILIES** **12** ## **The Foster Care Process** Social workers collaborate with local residential centres and the courts to conduct a series of activities and sessions to assess children for potential foster care placement. Prospective families are identified through our awareness raising workshops and are invited to undergo an evaluation process to become foster families. Staff work with the child throughout the preplacement process to ensure a child’s successful transition from institutional to family care. After extensive training, interviews, and screening from our social workers, families are matched with a child. Social workers provide regular support to families post- placement to ensure needs are met. If possible and within the best interests of the child, contact is retained with their biological family. ## Sponsorship Programme Our sponsorship programme is critical to ensuring that the needs of our foster care children are met. We invite our supporters around to world to consider joining our programme and receiving updates on their sponsored child. More information can be found in our **Foster Care Handbook** . **1921 13** ## Koulna Maa Baadna From 2021 to 2023 FAPE and MCT implemented the Koulna Maa Baadna project, the first mapping of the child protection system of Souss Massa. Funded by the European Union, the project aimed at identifying and mobilising child protection assets within the community, civil society and government services in order to strengthen local capacity. =| ## **70** **ACTIVITIES ACROSS THE REGION** ## **963** **LOCAL PROFESSIONALS PARTICIPATING IN TRAINING ACTIVITIES** **6 MAPPING TOOLKITS DEVELOPED** **14** Koulna Maa Baadna continued in 2022 until the end of March 2023 in the five communities of **Biougra, Ouled Teima, Taroudant, Tata and Tiznit.** There were two phases of KMB; Phase 1: consisting of mapping the child protection systems in each province. Phase 2 used the findings of the mapping to develop targeted training for local child protection professionals. The study was shaped by three approaches to understanding child protection systems: - Asset-Based Community Development - Participatory Action Research - Systems Approach to Child Protection We used a mixed methods design which included quantitative and qualitative methods. Once the mapping phase was complete, we were able to code and analyse the data collected from the activities implemented. Overall, we received ## **4670 data points.** Drawing on these results, we implemented the second phase of the project throughout 2022. We used key themes identified in the first phase of the project to design targeted training workshops for local actors to strengthen capacity and collaboration. **45 workshops** were implemented with a total of **963 professionals** on the following themes: - Intra-agency collaboration and the systems approach to child protection - Gatekeeping practices - Communications and advocacy - Positive parenting practices - Confidentiality and data management - Working with disabled children - Human resources and administrative management - Financial management We are drawing on the results of the project to develop mapping and training toolkits in Arabic, French and English. **15** ## HIMAYA+ In 2022 FAPE and MCT implemented the HIMAYA+ project, funded by the European Union and in partnership with UNICEF Morocco. The project aimed to provide support to families and children in the provinces of Agadir and Inezgane to access local services related to health, education and civil registration. **70** **AWARENESS RAISING ACTIVITIES** **4029 2263 COMMUNITY MEMBERS VULNERABLE ATTENDED OUR FAMILIES ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED** **16** Improving referral pathways and access to social services is a proven mechanism to support child safeguarding. Within Morocco, Civil Registration, government subsidised health care, and government subsidised education are key social services available for all Moroccans. When working with vulnerable populations, a critical first step towards stability and autonomy is ensuring access to these services. The project HIMAYA+ was based on **4 guiding principals** : 1. Awareness raising activities with the local community about accessing services related to health, civil registration, and education. 2. Identification, assessment and referral of families presenting potential risks of separation or abandonment. 3. Implementing Participatory Women's Groups as a way of creating peer-to-peer support for mothers. - 4.Strengthening intra-agency collaboration with local actors from various sectors (justice, health, education, local associations, etc.) In adopting our social work model at Centre Amane, HIMAYA+ was guided by the same principles of relational and transitional social work to support families and children in the provinces of Agadir and Inezgane. ## **113** **INDIVIDUALS SUCCESSFULLY OBTAINING CIVIL REGISTRATION** **1042** **FAMILIES** **SUPPORTED TO ACCESS HEALTH SERVICES** **589** **FAMILIES SUPPORTED TO ACCESS EDUCATION** **34** **WOMEN'S GROUP WORKSHOPS** **17** ## 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 2022 and the beginning of 2023, the collective focused on preparing a set of recommendations to present to government representatives. The Mouvement held 6 meetings with Parliamentary stakeholders, the Ministry of Justice, the National Council for Human Rights, and the Ministry of Social Development to begin sharing the recommendations for initial feedback. The Mouvement's collaboration with government stakeholders is crucial to developping local child protection services. ## 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 network also organised a regional conference at the end of 2022 in honor of international children's day . ## International Bureau for Children's Rights As part of FAPE's 7-year partnership with the **International Bureau for Children's Rights** (IBCR), FAPE attended 4 workshops over the course of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 hosted by IBCR with other local partners in Morocco. The workshops aim to share and implement social work best practice across the country and understand what is needed to develop an integrated child protection system in Morocco. **18** **Research Improving Practices** ~~e~~ o —. **Strengthening relationships for child protection across the Maghreb: Promoting knowledge-sharing and building capacity for research between the United Kingdom, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia.** Our research aims to develop methods, strategies, and interventions to respond to child abuse and neglect that can be replicated in Morocco, Mauritania, Tunisia, throughout the Maghreb region, and in other Low- and Middle-Income Countries. We conducted **9 workshops** with **86 participants** across Morocco, Mauritania and Tunisia. Key to developing future research, we also met with and gained the support of collaborating institutional partners through the following activities: - Moroccan and UK partners travelled to Tunisia to conduct workshops with professionals at Voix de L'Enfant in Mahdia and meet with key local child protection and child health stakeholders. - Moroccan and Tunisian partners travelled to Swansea to present at the PRIME Centre Wales Annual Conference, meet with safeguarding leads at Public Health Wales and City and County of Swansea Council and Professor Helen Griffiths, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research & Innovation (Swansea University). - UK and Moroccan partners travelled to Mauritania to conduct workshops with local child protection professionals and meet with the Director General of the National Center for University Service and President of the University of Nouakchott, Professor Wane Mohamedoune. - All partners travelled to Morocco, to present at the Koulna Maa Baadna conference organised by FAPE, met with the Head of the Faculty of Law at Ibn Zhor University, and conducted a workshop on research methods with postgraduate law students, child protection and health professionals and legislators. ## **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. 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. **20** **2** **INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS FROM FRANCE AND IRELAND** **LOCAL VOLUNTEERS** **20** ## Volunteer Project **Just Ask** is an organisation based in Dublin, transforming the lives of vulnerable children and youth by providing educational support, extracurricular activities, and a safe space to spend their free time. Each year we are fortunate that the organisation plans a trip to visit us with a group of their youth to organise activities at the Centre Amane. This year's trip included a visit to the Croco-Park in Agadir, a first for the children in our programme! **FatimaZahra Ouaazzi & Ayman M'zough** both volunteered at Centre Amane, working to support with civil registration cases. We value our local volunteers and the hands-on support they are able to provide to our Social Workers and Administrative team at Centre Amane. We would also like to thank our partner **La Maison Anglaise** for their support and group visits to share our work with visitors from around the world. **Ensemble avec les Enfants** is a French association that has been a long-term partner of MCT and FAPE. The organisation provides social support services to children and adolescents in difficult circumstances. Each year a group of child protection specialists from their team visit our Centre Amane and organise activities for the children and families. This past year we were fortunate to welcome them twice and exchange with them on best practice and the future development of child protection in Morocco. **21** ## **Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers!** _Our work would not have been possible without your help and support.
