Fondation Orient-Occident

Established in 1994, Fondation Orient-Occident (FOO) is a Moroccan non-profit organization recognized of public utility. Intellectually and practically conceived as a bridge between the two shores of the Mediterranean, its mission is to come towards the difficulties of young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods and to promote employability by setting up socio-educational and professional training structures throughout Morocco. It strives to provide a place where everyone can learn, enjoy, and share. In a second time, considering the increasing flow of migrants and refugees, the Fondation Orient-Occident, that initially only worked with young underprivileged Moroccans, expanded its humanitarian programming to embrace both Moroccans and non Moroccans, particularly migrants and refugees.
