By Ilham Safi, Family Literacy Assistant Program Manager

The Family Literacy team in Beni Mellal-Khenifra held a community meeting with the very welcoming members and beneficiaries of the Akhawat El Kharouba cooperative, El Bradia municipality, Fkih Ben Saleh province. There was a good reception and listening. They also liked the program, especially the opportunity for literacy classes because some of the cooperative women are in dire need of learning to read, write, and calculate in order to improve their situations. Some of the meeting’s participants are so excited for an Imagine workshop. They mentioned that they were always looking for a space to express their feelings, share their points of view, and face their problems. The IMAGINE workshop is the perfect space.

In the village of Ouled Ali Louad, 20 women are ready to take advantage of the IMAGINE workshop, technical training, and literacy classes. Fourteen of them are Akhawat El Kharroba cooperative members. The rest will be from among the local villagers.
