Summary

This project supports development of the Toussna Study Centre, a dedicated facility for pupils in the small town of Asni in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. The centre was built to provide secondary education students with a quiet place to revise and a space for those who have a long journey to and from school. Following the earthquake in Morocco, the centre was fully restored and has become a learning hub for the community. Funds raised will help to expand our programme of activities.

Challenge

Students in Asni lack the resources to help them to prepare for their Baccalaureate exams and equip them with the skills needed for the future workplace. Many are at risk of falling behind in their education due to a lack of quiet revision space and a growing need for extra tutoring support and training facilities.

Solution

EBF has opened a study centre close to the main schools. It houses two large, secure study rooms and quiet learning zone for up to 80 students, with a space each for boys and for girls. There is a technology room for computer lessons and a large reference library. Further development of the centre's programme will help to safeguard important educational gains and future life chances for young people in Asni, helping students to remain in education who would otherwise be at risk of dropping out.

Long-Term Impact

Improving access to education - Helping disadvantaged young people to continue their studies. Supporting literacy - Access to new books, homework support and a focus on digital literacy to close the digital divide felt by rural communities. Improving skills for employment - Enabling more people to have access to language courses, reference materials and online learning. Supporting community enrichment - Promoting equality and strengthening social cohesion.
