GIL STAUFFER COLLABORATES WITH ECU IN SCHOOLS IN MOROCCO

Gil Stauffer collaborates in the improvement of Moroccan schools and kindergartens

30/05/2018

GIL STAUFFER has collaborated with the organisation ECU delivering school supplies, basic pharmaceutical equipment and financing small works to improve facilities in modest schools in Morocco.

Under the slogan 'Education is the basis for the development of future citizens.', ECU is a small volunteer organisation that, supported by a training academy in Madrid, began its journey into the world of collaboration in this type of project only three years ago. Its originality lies in the fact that the projects are directly supervised by the donors of material and funding themselves. In other words, a annual trip to MoroccoThe programme, previously coordinated with selected schools and kindergartens, is designed to give visitors the experience of helping children sharing one or more days with them and their teachers, while seeing with their own eyes where their donations are invested. In short, it is about humble schools and kindergartens located in rural areas of the country and the following actions have been carried out to date:

• Construction of a concrete wall to prevent the entry of water due to the overflowing of the river at a primary school in the area of the Eurika Valley, nearby of MarrakechThis wall was also used to build a playground for the children. At the same time, the participants handed over a lot of first aid equipment, books and various school materials.
• In the second edition of these trips, the same school received another consignment of basic medicines, school supplies and some heaters to prepare the cold classrooms of this mountain school in a timely manner.

During the same trip, a visit was made to a school in the area of AgadirThe project, to which money was donated to restore and expand a library, books, school supplies, pharmaceuticals and a television set for educational purposes.

• The third trip included a visit to a day-care centre in Guffifaca rural area about 40km from Agadir. A classroom has been built here, which has also been furnished with tables and chairs for children's schoolchildren. In addition, a batch of school and pharmacy products has been delivered.

A visit was also made to a primary school in the same village, to which a financial donation was made to build toilets for the pupils, and another batch of first aid products and various school materials was handed over.

These are small but beautiful projects, which aim to help promote education in these modest villages and towns so close in physical distance and so far away in purchasing power.

GIL STAUFFER  is proud to be involved in this type of project and is proud to be able to do so as part of its policy of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Since 1905, our greatest satisfaction has been your satisfaction.
