Morocco, Culture, 3/5/2002
Morocco's King Mohammed VI chaired Monday a meeting of the governing board of the Mohammed V Solidarity Foundation.
The king also chaired the signing ceremony of a partnership convention between the Foundation and the ministry of Habous (endowments) and Islamic Affairs and the ministry of the Interior on the Ramadan operation and the modalities for its organization and financing, the Foundation said in a release.
The convention seeks to supply meals to some 45,000 families in urban centers and foodstuff to 410,000 households in rural areas, the release said, adding that priority will be given to the least favored families, widows, handicapped and elderly.
The king voiced satisfaction over the work accomplished by the Foundation and lauded the involvement of citizens in the materialization of the Foundation's objectives through their contribution to the solidarity campaigns as well as the positive role played by partners who extended human and material backing for the realization of the foundation's programs.
King Mohammed VI instructed the Foundation's governing board to double efforts to reinforce the programs set through allotting a budget worth 215 million dirhams for child protection, girls schooling, handicapped people integration and the promotion of the living standards of rural populations.
The king stressed the need to carry on the holding of Ramadan operation and the welcome of Moroccan expatriates.
At the end of the meeting, King Mohammed VI voiced the Foundation's pride over the adherence of Mohamed Sayed Tantaoui, Sheikh of Al-Azhar Asharif, as honorary member.
