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.
Northwick Trust
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.

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.

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.
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.
Child Protection Unit
In 2023, Centre Amane was appointed Child Protection Unit (UPE) for the province of Taroudant by the Ministry of Solidarity, Women, Family and Social Development (MSFFDS).
This opportunity is an important step towards achieving our objectives of developing a child protection system through our safeguarding and social work practice.
Recognition as a UPE will enable us to better respond to the needs of the community, ensure better collaboration with local stakeholders, and institutionalise Centre Amane's services.

Civil Registration & 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 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.
There is still a need to support the generalisation and legislative reform of birth registration for children. This means that, in the meantime, families still require individualised support in the civil registration process.

Support to Access Health 7. Services
The first step in our health services offered at the Centre Amane is to ensure that children and their families are covered by national health insurance through the CNSS and AMO systems. Once children and families are insured, they can receive subsidised healthcare.
Our social workers also monitor the health of families and children to facilitate access to health services, such as emergency services, private consultations, understanding prescriptions, and purchasing medications.

Participatory } " Women’s Group -
Participatory women's groups promote positive parenting practices and reduce rates of child abuse, neglect and abandonment. In 2023 we ran 9 workshops providing a safe space for women who are stigmatised and marginalised within their communities.
33 PARTICIPANTS
The themes and activities are chosen with the participation of the women and the three types of activities are 1) presentations by a facilitator; 2) focus group on a topic chosen in advance; and 3) a handcraft activity. The impact of the women’s group targets community development to create and encourage a culture of community-based child protection practice.

WORKSHOPS
School Support & Activities
Social Integration
Our social workers liaise with teachers to support children in their schooling. In addition, the social worker responsible for monitoring the children's progress at school draws up a weekly programme of support sessions, incorporating activities that encourage positive feelings towards education and learning.
We also involve the children in extra-curricular activities (music, theatre, sport, etc.) with local associations to develop new talents and hobbies, as well as to reduce risks of street-connection.

MEETINGS WITH TEACHERS AND COACHES
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.
Meetings with Local Professionals
We conducted 188 meetings with local actors in 2023. 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.
188 MEETINGS WITH LOCAL ACTORS
Street Work
In 2023, we conducted 57 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.
57 STREET PATROLS
Referrals
In 2023, we received 190 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.

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.

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 .

Earthquake Relief
Following the powerful magnitude 7 earthquake that hit Morocco on the 8th September 2023, MCT and FAPE have steered their efforts to provide emergency aid and long-term psycho-social support to the affected communities in the greater province of Taroudant. Given the impact of such a natural disaster, the psychological care and protection of children against violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect is an urgent priority.

- if Efforts
With a high rate of families and children affected by the earthquake in the province of Taroudant, and the severity of the destruction and loss, earthquake-affected populations suffer from lack of shelter and appropriate living conditions, lack of access to health and education, and the emotional shock that occurs post-crisis. Humanitarian crises often have devastating long-term effects on children's lives. Child protection risks faced by children include family separation, psychosocial distress, physical or sexual abuse, economic exploitation, injury and even death.
Following our emergency intervention in the first month after the earthquake to distribute essential aid to the affected communities, we designed a medium and long-term psychosocial support programme in the most affected villages. As part of this, we implemented a "Safe Spaces" project, aimed at providing psychological support to children and families, as well as raising community awareness on child protection practice through the following areas of intervention:
Holistic assessment of villages
Organising and preparing “Safe Space” activities
Psychosocial support workshops for men, women and children
Awareness raising on child protection risks post crisis

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.

ACTIVITIES LOCAL PROFESSIONALS MAPPING ACROSS THE PARTICIPATING IN TOOLKITS REGION TRAINING ACTIVITIES DEVELOPED
16
The Koulna Maa Baadna project was completed in March 2023 in the five communities of Biougra, Ouled Teima, Taroudant, Tata and Tiznit. During its two years of implementation, the project was carried out in two phases: phase 1 consisted of mapping the child protection systems in each province and phase 2 used the results of the mapping to develop targeted training modules 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.
The first three months of 2023 were dedicated to drafting and finalising the 6 toolkits that were developed and derived from the project’s activities and data collection (one toolkit for each target community and one regional toolkit).
The final results of the project were presented at a regional conference attended by more than 120 government and civil society actors working in child protection in the Souss Massa region.

Advocacy & Capacity Building
Mouvement Enfance Maroc
FAPE is a founding member of the national collective Mouvement Enfance Maroc , a network of around 200 members working in child protection across the country. In 2023, the movement was invited to participate in a meeting with the Ministry of Solidarity, Women, the Family and Social Development (MSFFDS) on the development of a legal framework for an integrated child protection system. 2023 was also a preparatory year for the alternative report to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva. The movement is working with other national collectives to draw up a report on the current state and recommendations for children's rights in Morocco.
Réseau de la Promotion des Droits de l'Enfant
We are co-founders and leaders of the regional collective - Le Réseau de la Promotion des Droits de l'Enfant - made up of around 100 members working with children in the Souss Massa region. In 2023, the network organised workshops in Tiznit with regional civil society organisations. The network also organised meetings with institutional actors, such as Entraide Nationale, Health, Education, and the Public Ministry during the year to share their observations and recommendations regarding the situation of vulnerable children in the Souss Massa region.
International Bureau for Children's Rights
As part of the partnership between FAPE and the International Bureau for Children's Rights (IBCR) , we took part in 1 workshop during 2023 organised by IBCR with other local partners in Morocco aimed at sharing and implementing best practice in social work across the country. FAPE also participated in the development of a framework for child participation, including an exchange visit to Tunisia and consultation workshops with children at the Centre Amane. Finally, we took part in an exchange visit to the Ivory Coast, which was attended by several African countries.

Research Improving Practices ~~GC~~ —— 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, the whole Maghreb region and other low- and middle-income countries. In 2023, we carried out the following activities:
-
All partners from Tunisia, Mauritania and Wales travelled to Morocco to take part in the Koulna Maa Baadna conference organised by FAPE. They also had the opportunity to meet the director of the law faculty at Ibn Zhor University as well as professionals from the province of Taroudant to discuss intra-agency coordination mechanisms for child protection.
-
A number of Workshops under the SECURE project "Strengthening Child Safeguarding Research Through Professional Exchange" were held with community members in Taroudant (parents at risk of abandonment, front-line workers from local civil society organisations, and various child protection professionals) to understand the strengths and needs in child protection in the province.
-
A publication in the journal "Children and Youth Services Review Volume 157" was produced in
collaboration with researchers from Swansea University in Wales and the University of Pittsburgh in the United States. Based on research carried out in Morocco, Tunisia and Mauritania, the article highlights the high rates of child institutionalisation in the Maghreb and opportunities to develop and adapt existing child safeguarding and alternative care structures and practice between countries in the greater region.
