Assafou Association for Development is a well-established and respected non-profit in the Marrakech/Safi region. It was founded in 2011 by a group of volunteers passionate about rural development and highly invested in the preservation and the development of the Al-Haouz /Atlas mountain’s region.
Over the past ten years, Assafou positively changed the lives of hundreds of children and rural women. Its success is due in large part to its deep knowledge of the region, its close collaboration with the local authorities and Associations, and most importantly, a well-established and trusted relationship with the local population. Having experienced, Berber-speaking staff on the ground and among the volunteers is also one of its great assets.
Assafou Association’s work focuses on three important areas: (a) Children Education; (b) Integration of Women; and (c) Rural Development. Today, Assafou has 11 educational centers in the Al-Haouz region.
Beyond support for schooling, Assafou provides warm clothes, school supplies, uniforms, and maintains its centers, so the parents and villagers do not have to.
