Center for Association Solidarity in Bouknadel

Promoting a network of partner associations 

Partnership with associations is reflected both in the design and management of the Foundation's projects and social centers. Project development and sustainability thus hinge on a committed and effective partnership with associations. This is why the Foundation considers supporting and consolidating its network of partner associations as a priority lever for their promotion and professionalization. This approach has led to the creation of the Center for Association Solidarity in Bouknadel (CAS).

Contributing to building the skills of national Civil Society Organizations 

The CAS's mission is to promote optimization of associations' resources and foster their commitment. It serves as a concrete framework for the Foundation's efforts to develop associations and other social actors' efficiency and ability to innovate. The latter benefit from training and social engineering programs conducted by national and international experts or by the Foundation's staff.

The CAS also meets the needs of associations by providing them with facilities adapted to needs of their educational programs as well as sports, cultural and recreational activities for their beneficiaries.

Offering a multifunctional platform for solidarity-based activities 

The CAS was also designed to serve as a venue for entertainment and leisure in a spirit of solidarity. It is equipped with all the necessary infrastructure, including training facilities, leisure areas (camping and sports), an educational farmhouse and a residential home. It offers various interdisciplinary educational activities: practical training courses in humanitarian work, summer camps for disadvantaged young people and young people with disabilities, training and introduction to agricultural production.
