The ALEF program works in both basic and vocational education. In basic education, ALEF helps promote initiative and creativity in school teachers and students to achieve greater quality and relevance of classroom education. The project includes a girls’ dormitories component implemented with key partners, l'Entraide Nationale and the National Federation of Charity Associations. In its women’s literacy component, ALEF works with 28 associations, using learner-friendly materials based on the Family Code and on an innovative pre-literacy approach in Moroccan Arabic and Berber dialects. In vocational training, ALEF works with agricultural training centers that prepare technicians (aged 15 years and up) for employment in the agribusiness sector. It works directly with the private sector to increase the number of qualified young people to work in the growing tourism industry. ICT and entrepreneurial skills are integrated into all elements of the various program activities. www.alef.ma
