Swira

Swira is a Belgian non-profit organization started in 2011 by some enthusiastic youth workers who fell in love with Morocco. At the moment, there are 2 main aims of the organization. The first is the support of youth organizations in Essaouira, Morocco. We want to help some Moroccan youngsters make their dream of giving the disadvantaged children of their neighborhood a better youth than they ever had come true. We also want to learn more about Moroccan culture and share our experiences in Belgium. The past years, we have supported some youngsters to establish and develop their own organization in Morocco. We help them with financial support gained through fundraising activities, sponsorship and grants. We also support them through training courses and by sharing our experiences. The main aim for the next years is to help them in their search for financial resources in Morocco and to empower them to work independently. The second aim of our organisation is to train youth workers in an international context. We want to establish this goal by organising and participating in different trainingcourses. We have also been able to send an EVS volunteer to Marocco in 2015. She has worked on a project called "energy flows where attantenion goes" a project about relational and sexual education.
