META Skills for Women Empowerment Project

It goes without saying that without equal assistance and resources, women are unable to develop the required skills and get acceptance for their futures in rurle eareas. However, in Ait-Ourir, the AFCD Foundation is working to promote women empowerment through different projects.

META Skills for Women Empowerment project was developed in partnership between the AFCD Foundation and ANIS Association to provide women with the opportunity to discuss and learn about topics that will aid and guide them to find additional sources of income.

It also aims to provide technological solutions that will enable participants to master management practices, cooperative legislation, accounting, and marketing, as well as follow up with them to achieve a sustainable profit.

Throughout this project, we brought attention to the problems of women and their active role in development, as well as raising awareness of the need to find solutions to improve their social conditions.

Train women in management, administration, cooperative law, accounting, and marketing.

TOT: Gender based violence – CCP Synergy Project

The prevention program “Heartbeat – prevention of violence in intimate relationships” was developed within the framework of a project of the European Union in 2009. Along with other European organizations, the German departments TIMA and PfunzKerle participated / took part in the development of the program. By now, the project has been successfully carried out in practice.

The aim of the program is to talk to teenagers about respect in intimate relationships and to make them aware of the beginnings of violence and exercise of power in a private context. Eventually, the program is about counteracting violence in intimate relationships / marriage and promoting equality of men and women.

The methods are teenager friendly and interactive. The AFCD participants learnt the methods by trying them out. The participants learnt also about German research results about violence in intimate relationships. They also got to know the structures of both organizations´ workshops. TIMA and AFCD collaboratively work to implement this approach in Morocco.
