About
Refugees in morocco
Your support will help us to make life better living for African refugees in Morocco …..
In Morocco, we seek to ensure that all people — especially those with the fewest resources — can access the opportunities they need to ensure a healthy life. We focus on improving people’s health and wellbeing by providing them with access to basic health needs.
We inspire to lead the way to build a healthy Africa for All.
Poor quality healthcare is devastating millions across Africa, but especially those are at risk that travel hundred miles across Africa to reach Morocco. On their long threatening journey, they are faced with massive burdens, such as hunger and trauma, but moreover they are constantly exposed to all kinds of diseases and infections.
Amongst the greatest injustices of today’s world is unequal access to basic and lifesaving healthcare. COVID-19 has shone a devastating light on this situation through the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities, including people of colour, in Morocco and globally.
That’s why we have launched Refugees in Morocco.org to ensure our recovery from COVID-19 addresses this inequality and addresses previous inequalities to basic healthcare.
Refugees in Morocco.org has come to life during this pandemic to make sure health systems are strengthened and that tests, treatments and vaccines are made available to everyone, everywhere in Morocco. We must push to ensure that protection is available to all equally, regardless of race, income and location, not just for the privileged few.
This NGO in Morocco exists to ensure live-saving vaccinations reach everyone by working across Morocco’s poorest communities to deliver protection to those most in need, in particular African refugees. Our NGO is the best chance at making sure children, mothers and young Africans in extreme poverty stranded in Morocco continue to receive life-saving immunisation.
We will work with hospitals, doctors, partners, corporates to provide effective vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics and to develop innovative approaches to deliver health services to those who need it most. And we focus heavily on spreading access to new vaccines to prevent infectious diseases that impose the greatest burden.
Our Team
We are small diverse team on a mission to make healthcare accessible for everyone in Morocco.
