Act4community Khouribga: 2,000 children benefit from summer camp program

This year, 2,000 children from the provinces of Khouribga and Fkih Bensalah will benefit from the Holiday Camps program launched by the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, under the patronage of King Mohammed VI, in conjunction with Act4Community Khouribga, an OCP social initiative.

As in previous years, the camps are organized in partnership with local associations active in the field. The objectives of this year’s summer camps are to :

– Enable children from underprivileged families to spend a pleasant vacation rich in activity and emotion.

– Provide children with conditions and situations conducive to the development of autonomy and critical thinking;

– Develop children’s intellectual capacities, volunteer spirit, citizenship and teamwork;

– Promote cultural mixing and social diversity;

– Raise children’s awareness of ecological issues.

– The discovery of a variety of practices and the acquisition of technical and thematic knowledge.

As in previous years, Act4community Khouribga has developed this year’s program in close consultation and collaboration with local associations.

To contribute to local socio-economic development, an objective pursued by OCP’s new social vision embodied by Act4community Khouribga, the latter has drawn on the know-how of local textile cooperatives based mainly in Oued Zem to weave and make the clothing that will be made available to the program’s child beneficiaries.

Aged between 7 and 15, the children benefiting from this program come from 35 communes in the provinces of Khouribga and Fkih Ben Saleh.

The beneficiaries have been identified by more than 60 local associations, who are responsible for mobilizing them under the program, which will be spread over five 5-stage colonies from July 1 to August 30, 2024. They will be supervised by more than 200 educational executives, and will be present in the camp centers based in coastal towns.

It should be noted that 30 associations specialized in camping and approved by the Ministry of Youth and Sports have been selected following a call for applications launched by Act4community Khouribga to supervise the children.

Summer camps are full of emotion and learning, and help children to blossom. They offer an ideal environment for socialization, entertainment and the acquisition of knowledge and skills.

In this context, Act4Community Khouribga pays particular attention to children in its programs. After all, today’s children are tomorrow’s men and women.
