Improving Accessibility of the Primary Education School in Douar de Tighmarte (Morocco)
Project status: ongoing
SDGs addressed:
The positive outcomes of the 2024 collaboration and the good working relationship between ASL and the Association de Jeunes pour le Développement Rural de Tighmarte mean that in 2025 we continue working with the Tighmarte community in the Moroccan High Atlas.
This year’s project proposal involves relocating the current municipal school to a new site. At present, the school is located about 3 km from the urban area, accessible only on foot and without proper paths. Furthermore, it lies at the foot of the mountain, making it vulnerable to flooding. The current facilities consist of prefabricated classrooms with no toilets, which limits access to basic and dignified hygiene services. The school currently hosts around 30 students and has two teachers in charge.
The main goal of the project is to build solid and suitable facilities that will put an end to the precarious and temporary conditions of the prefabricated classrooms. The new school will be located close to the inhabited area, with easy access for the children of the community and for vehicles, also enabling attendance by students from neighboring villages. This new infrastructure will ensure access to education in safe spaces adapted to the needs of children, helping to improve the quality of learning. Moreover, the project will strengthen the educational work in the area, ensuring an essential service for the community. Thanks to these improvements, the plan includes adding a new educational service for early childhood (ages 3–6).
