Overview
This program supports girls aged 11-18 from remote villages in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco to access secondary school education. We work with a charity that builds and staffs boarding houses for girls near to their colleges and lycees, providing a supportive and culturally appropriate environment which enables them to gain access to education and achieve their potential.
Volunteers work at the boarding houses, helping the girls with their school work (particularly English and French), mentoring the staff and helping them develop confidence in conversational English, and taking part in a range of activities designed to create a homely and stimulating environment for the girls. Online placements can also be created for volunteers who are unable or prefer not to travel, pairing them up with small groups of girls or with a house-mother for regular English conversation lessons online.
