Project financed

This is about creating a lasting and sustainable project at the Centre Fiers et Forts-CFF (Centre Proud & Strong), a welcoming center for disadvantaged children of the Marrakech region (history and purpose of the Centre below).

The total project budget is € 11,059. By participating in it, you actually help us to launch the first nurturing and educational farm based on methods of permaculture in Morocco. Altogether, let’s build it!

The What, the how and the who The implementation of this project will follow precise specifications and will be accompanied by the architect and project coordinator, Julien Sainsaulieu (sainsaulieu@gmail.com). Project coordination will integrate all the actors, children, educators and gardeners. Employee training and villagers (coming soon) will be involved in the realization and success of the project.

Expected Results

The purpose of this project is to develop an educational structure in harmony with nature and its principles through a 1,200 m2 garden while keeping the well-being of children in mind.

To do so, it seems essential that they have the following at their disposal:

- A self-produced organic diet over a 1,200 m2 area of gardening.

- A living pharmacy: herbs and medicinal plants in the broad spectrum.

- An education and awareness of the importance of ecology and the preservation of our environment.

- The establishment of a composting unit for the recycling of waste products from the operation of the Centre Proud & Strong (farm manure, food waste, cardboard, paper ...).

The project originated in Dorothea Eijkman Madou’s heart. She was born in the Netherlands in 1935.

- In 2004, Madou moved to Tamesloht where she is struck by the number of children who are lost and suffering, sleeping in the streets of the town, harbinger of a generational transmission of violence. Thus started Madou’s daily commitment for their welfare. She listens, finds them clothing and takes care of their diet and education. Children come in increasing number and the activity grows.

- In Janvier 2011, The “Association Eijkman-Centre Fiers et Forts (CFF)” (Proud and Strong) is founded. The Association is non political et secular. The Association Centre Fiers et Forts (CFF) Proud and Strong, is committing itself to intervene and welcome within its walls all children in in distress.

- On April 13, 2013, the Proud and Strong Center received a donation from the Association Al Baraka. The funds raised are entirely dedicated to the construction of a facility of 950 m2. These are the premises for the welcoming, training and accommodation for children.

- On October 16, 2014, The Centre Fiers et Forts exists, is functional with well-settled children. You are cordially invited to visit us. Today 105 children are supported.
