Description

The socio-sporting school in Tangiers carries out its activity at a Social Protection Facility by the name of Assadaka Social Complex, run by the Associación para la Integración del Menor PAIDEIA  in collaboration with the public administration Entraide Nationale and the local Moroccan association, Raouabit Assadaka.

The complex is situated in the Bendibane neighbourhood, one of the most deprived areas of the city. It is a settlement of chaotic structures marked by limited resources and infrastructure for education, healthcare and sports and a population with no formal employment.
In this vulnerable environment, the Assadaka Centre offers various programmes aimed at infants and women such as literacy courses, training workshops, preschool care, training workshops for young people, informal education classrooms and a residence for young people at risk of social exclusion.

The Real Madrid Foundation’s socio-sporting school fits into this scheme, providing the boys and girls with enjoyment through sport. The beneficiaries of the school young people with no guardian from the Bendibane neighbourhood at risk of social exclusion (single-parent families with scarce resources living in shanty towns). As well as the sporting activities, the attendees receive extra-curricular classes and psychological support.
