Koulna Maa Baadna defends and promotes the rights of vulnerable children and handicapped persons through the development of an integrated and sustainable child protection system and professionalised social service workforce at the provincial and regional levels of Souss-Massa. We have 3 major objectives in the region of Souss-Massa, specifically the cities of Ait-Amira, Ouled Teima, Taroudant, Tata, and Tznit :

To reinforce civil society organisations through the formation of provincial and regional steering committees representing state and non-state actors to create collaborative mechanisms for which to put in place decentralisation and social work processes
To equip civil society organisations with necessary skills relative to the community’s identified strengths to advance their capacity to serve disadvantaged populations.
