The Fondation Azura and Institut Français d'Agadir have renewed their partnership to support young girls in rural Morocco. On November 3, 2026, the two organizations signed a new agreement to continue their collaboration on French language learning and cultural access for girls in the Dar Taliba boarding schools. The ceremony took place at the Institut Français d'Agadir, attended by Consul of France in Agadir and Director of IFA Mme Lederle, President of Fondation Azura Mme Nada Tazi Harakat, and representatives from both institutions.
The partnership, initially launched in February 2021, has already benefited nearly 500 young girls from rural areas. The program combines French language learning with cultural activities to promote academic success, self-confidence, and future prospects. The initiative has been expanded to several Dar Taliba boarding schools, including Dar Al Fatat Biougra, Dar Taliba Inchaden, and Dar Taliba Belfaa. For the 2026-2027 school year, the program will continue at Dar Taliba Belfaa and Dar Taliba Inchaden.
The program includes French communication courses, three annual cultural workshops led by IFA, and preparation for the Diplôme d'études en langue française (DELF). The results of recent sessions have shown significant progress, with 15 out of 16 candidates obtaining their DELF certification, a success rate of nearly 94%. In 2025, all eight candidates were awarded diplomas, with two achieving the B2 level.
The partnership between Fondation Azura and Institut Français d'Agadir aims to improve access to educational and cultural resources for rural girls. By providing additional support for girls to pursue their studies and prepare for their professional insertion, the organizations hope to make a positive impact on their lives. The program is entirely funded by Fondation Azura.
