You can help
Even a small donation can make a big difference in the life of a Moroccan youth. In Morocco, youth unemployment is a huge social problem – 60% of the country's unemployed are young people.
Now, MEDA is reaching out to youth with financial services and training to help young Moroccans start their own business or become more employable. With your help they can create a better future for themselves and their families.
To donate, visit the MEDA Store or call 1-800-665-7026.
