Colleagues in Milupa Switzerland decided to set up a local SupportingLives programme to support the SOS Children's Village Dar Bouazza in Morocco. Their first project is to build a kitchen for the kindergarden in the village. This project would improve nutrition conditions of 50 children who are in the care of the kindergaden.

About Dar Bouazza

SOS Children's Village Dar Bouazza is about 18 km south of the centre of Casablanca and was officially opened on 29 October 2001 by Princess Lalla Hasna. Eleven family houses for a total of 110 children, a village director's house, an aunt's house and an administration and service area are situated on the three hectare area of land which was provided by the Royal House of Morocco. In Casablanca there are two flats for the care of 14 young people which have seven rooms and a living/dining room, an office, a kitchen and sanitary areas. Since the beginning of 2005 eight more young people have been able to live in the "supervised home" in Dar Bouazza itself.
