Moroccan king dedicates house for abandoned children, infants

Morocco's King Mohammed VI dedicated, in Casablanca on Thursday, a house for abandoned children and infants, after extension and refurbishing works.

The revamping of Lalla Hasna House, built on 3,074 square metres, aimed to increase accommodation capacity to 330 beds and to upgrade boarders' living conditions.

The Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity earmarked 6,013 million dirhams (US$ 572,666) needed for refurbishing works.

Lalla Hasna House, run by Al Ihsan Association, is staffed by 152 educators and supervisors.
