Solidarité Féminine supported by Accor Morocco offers them professional training over one year including apprenticeships in two social micro-enterprises belonging to Solidarité Féminine: a traditional Moroccan pastry unit and a venue for care / massage (these places are open to the public, customers come to lend an ear and support).
