Education For All (EFA) believes that education a basic human right, and that educated girls educate the next generation. EFA focuses on girls from rural, remote areas of Morocco's High Atlas region who are missing out on secondary education due to living too far away from schools and being too poor to afford transport. EFA was founded in 2007 to respond to the high levels of illiteracy (estimated at 70%) amongst girls in the most deprived and remote areas of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Instead of going to school, girls were staying home, doing domestic chores, marrying young and remaining in the cycle of poverty with limited choices in life. The 3 main obstacles for girls in rural Morocco to access school are Their villages are too far away from the secondary schools Their families are too poor to afford the travel costs There is low awareness of and value for educating girls THE SIMPLE SOLUTION EFA builds and runs safe and well equipped girls' boarding houses. We currently accommodate 250 girls in 6 houses, from the ages of 12-18 yrs. The EFA houses are a 'home away from home'. They are staffed by local women which helps to create an environment where their culture is respected and trust is built with the local community. They have 3 nutritious meals a day, hot showers, computer rooms and plenty of books and learning support. We also run an international volunteer programme to support the girls in their studies and activities which broaden their horizons.

OR $85 per month or $1000 per year. IMPACT The short-term impact of EFA's work is that many girls now have the opportunity to go to school who otherwise would be at home. Since 2007 we have given access to a full secondary education for 370 girls. These girls are now young women want to become lawyers, scientists, teachers and entrepreneurs! We now have over 130 girls enrolled at University since 2013, with two now studying their Master's Degrees, 3 on full university scholarships and one who just graduated to become a Biology teacher. The longer-term impact is that these young women will be able to become financially independent, contribute to the workforce and economy and have more choice and voice in their families and society, ensuring progressive equality for future generations. They have also inspired a positive shift in attitudes in their communities towards educating girls, and are strong role models to their sisters and friends, demonstrating what is possible for them and how to realise their potential through education.

CORE VALUES Integrity Leadership Service Accountability Transparency Love Respect Unity Teamwork PROJECT SUMMARY In spite of planned development and special provision for accelerated socio-economic development of neglected/disadvantaged sections, the issue of orphan, semi orphan and street children is not properly addressed. In our project area many Orphan, Semi Orphan and Street Children are found. The problem of orphan / street children is acute due to urbanization and industrialization. Due to the Deaths of HIV/AIDS affected persons, Re-marriage of Deserted / Widowed / Divorce women, Absence of love and security in the families, Family disputes, Unwanted pregnancy of Trafficking / Sexually exploited girls; these orphan and street children are left without care and support. These children are involved in rag picking; pick pocketing and participating in anti social, criminal activities. Therefore, we envisage mainstreaming these children in the national building by providing care, support and protection in our Promise Giving Children's Family. Promise Giving Children's Family houses orphans and vulnerable children and needy families and provides care support and protection for them. This home has 10 workers among them cooks, cleaners, teachers, caretakers and administrators. All children are provided with 3 times nutritious food, clean water, books, school uniforms, clothing, beddings, sanitary pads, diapers, water, soap detergents and shoes as well as psychological and spiritual support. Every child has an opportunity for indoor and outdoor recreation and play facilities. We also support them to realize their potentials, careers and talents so as to become self-reliant and responsible members of the society. We as Promise Giving Children's Family aim to bring a service of hope to the needy and vulnerable children and families in the community. PROBLEM STATEMENT The problem of the orphaned, needy and vulnerable children is acute due to poverty levels in our communities thus most families are unable to afford basic needs for their children. There is also an increase of children who are affected and infected with HIV/AIDS while others have been orphaned as a result of the deaths of AIDS affected persons. The situation is also further aggravated by the absence of love and security and unwanted pregnancy of sexually exploited girls conflict, social injustices, gender violence etc. These children are involved in rag picking, pick pocketing, participating in anti-social, criminal activities. FUTURE MAJOR VISION We are aspiring to have our own compound where we don't pay the rent and if possible, to expand from the ordinary home to group of schools where our children will get opportunity to be at the orphanage and proceed to our junior school, senior school up to the highest level possible. The center will also ensure that all the beneficiaries who have completed school/college will have a placement, this shall include vulnerable children who have completed the vocational training hence they will be provided by the working capital inform of tools and materials to start off. CONCLUSION Children symbolizes the continuation of generation; it shows that when they are well motivated and protected our future becomes brighter. When they are nurtured in the best way the world shall be better place to live in. This is why we come with lots of humility to you to help us fulfill the idea of the project above so that we can help the children to realize their dreams in different ways. We shall appreciate your partnership and promise that no support will be wasted and every coin shall be accounted for for the benefit of the children. We need the children to be cared for at all cost no matter the background where that child comes and that is why whenever the county officer knocked the door to bring in a child into our premises, we always receive them with open heart and love.
