The Ports4Impact association, the entity responsible for the CSR policy of Marsa Maroc, has concluded a partnership with the Jadara Foundation to enable ten deserving high school graduates from limited opportunity backgrounds to pursue their higher education under the best conditions.
Beneficiaries from the regions where Marsa Maroc operates (Dakhla, Laâyoune, Agadir, Safi, Jorf Lasfar, Casablanca, Mohammedia, Tangier, and Nador) will be selected based on criteria that combine academic excellence and vulnerability of the family and financial context, according to a statement from Ports4Impact.
This partnership also prioritizes parity and diversity as fundamental principles. Ports4Impact will ensure that the selection of beneficiaries guarantees equitable gender representation, with 50% being young female graduates, and will pay particular attention to the inclusion of deserving students with disabilities.
This partnership fully illustrates the mission of Ports4Impact, focused on action in synergy with various active forces in society for projects with a strong social impact, including those related to educational support and the guidance of Moroccan students with high potential to transition to higher education.
Ports4Impact is a non-profit association that leads and implements the corporate social responsibility commitment of Marsa Maroc. It supports impactful initiatives in the fields of environment, social inclusion, education, sports, and culture.
Open to its ecosystem, Ports4Impact collaborates with various active forces for more impactful projects, aligned with both the CSR commitments of Marsa Maroc and national priorities.
The name Ports4Impact fully expresses this ambition: to make ports not only economic platforms but also vectors of social, environmental, and cultural impact.
On its part, the Jadara Foundation, formerly known as the Moroccan Student Foundation, is a Moroccan non-profit association recognized as being of public utility since its creation in 2002. Its mission is to enable every young person to choose and build their future with confidence and ambition, without facing barriers related to social origin, territory, gender, or disability.
Each year, Jadara identifies young talents from modest backgrounds to support them through a comprehensive social ascent journey. It inspires, guides, financially supports them, assigns them a mentor, and strengthens their transversal skills. To achieve this, it relies on a solid ecosystem composed of educational partners, committed businesses, mobilized volunteers, and donors convinced by its cause.
As a major and credible player in the third sector, Jadara pursues its commitment with determination to generate significant and lasting changes. It asserts itself as a trusted partner, a driver of progress that, since its inception, has changed the lives of over 3,025 young people in Morocco, 74% of whom are girls.
