Our work

Preventing child labour

Preventing child labour in Taroudant by providing holistic social support to children and their families.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and Professional Integration of Morocco, FAPE is combatting child labour in Taroudant. We strongly believe going to school and getting an education is a basic right of every child. Unfortunately, many children are unable to attend school or receive a complete education due to being forced to work. Children are forced to work in variety ways:

  • Employment in the agricultural sector
  • Working in the home
  • Working in the streets
  • Sexual Exploitation
