In 2018, we partnered with Centre de Sauvegarde de L’Enfance pour Jeune Fille FIDA, an orphanage and correctional facility for young and teenage girls.

Our 2nd library in Morocco led us to Centre de Sauvegarde de L’Enfance pour Jeune Fille FIDA, an orphanage and correctional facility that rehabilitates young and teenage girls who have had trouble with the law and helps them return to society through education and vocational skills.

In September 2018, the place was home to 64 girls, though they have space for 300, and the population changes constantly. While there was already a library there, it had limited books so the staff weren’t empowered to use it or encourage the girls to visit it.
