New projects will aid women in Morocco's Ouarzazate province

2008-01-04

Morocco's King Mohammed VI launched two social projects on Thursday (January 3rd) to improve living conditions for women living in the province of Ouarzazate. The $415,000 allocated to the projects will be managed by the National Initiative for Human Development, MAP reported.

The king laid the foundation stone for a training centre for women in the rural area of Tizegzaouine. Three professional workshops for handicrafts, improving local products and livestock farming will be located in the centre. The second project, a girls' residence hall in the rural municipality of Ait Zineb, will benefit 80 girls and with the aim of preventing them from dropping out of school. The hall includes a library, an IT room and other facilities.
