Education For All
































A few weeks ago I made a trip up to Imlil to photograph the young women of Education For All.

Education For All has been established to help provide the opportunity of a college education for girls from rural Moroccan communities. Its first project, opened in 2007, has been to facilitate access to secondary education for up to 36 girls from the remote villages of the High Atlas Mountains by building a boarding house for them in the town of Asni, Since 2009 a new boarding house and school have been built in Talaat n’Yacoub, and now Ouirgane.

The Education for All network is recognized by UNESCO and is dedicated to working towards The United Nations Millennium Development Goal of promoting gender equality and empowering women.

I'm looking forward to continuing my association with Education For All and taking photos of such talented young women.
