Morocco's King Mohammed VI inaugurated a new social centre on Saturday (September 22nd), which is tasked with providing educational possibilities for girls in the village of Boukhalef, near Tangier. The centre will offer housing and educational support for 120 girls. It is part of a project that aims to reduce school dropout rates and increase literacy. The Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity has opened 47 similar centres in different parts of Morocco and plans to open 13 more.
