The DARNA Orphanage
In Essaouira, Morocco, an orphanage has been created to respond to a very real need. It provides a home for:
- young children who have been abandoned to the health system
- street children
Thanks to a royal donation from His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the
"DARNA" orphanage has acquired a quality accommodation facility with a capacity of 60 beds.
The centre houses
36 boys and girls between the ages of 1 and 6, as well as 22 babies.
It employs 32 people and includes a dining hall, an infirmary, a dormitory and a nursery.
The children are raised in a family setting.
A sizeable monthly budget is required to keep the centre running smoothly. Thanks to the support of the local authorities and certain Essaouira hotels and restaurants, the orphanage is able to function on a basic level.
However, it is still in need of external financial aid.
You can sponsor the centre or make a donation:
SPONSORSHIP:
Sponsorship involves making a regular donation to the orphanage of 20 Euros per month, or 6.80 Euros per month after the 66% tax deduction.

A donation for the amount of your choice will help the orphanage to meet the needs of the children.
For example, for 50 Euros – or 17 Euros after the tax deduction – you can make a difference to the lives at DARNA.
