Description

Amal was founded in April 16, 2011 in Marrakech, Morocco. We are working on raising awareness and fighting stigma by organizing patient meetings, producing educational material, organizing activities in the hospital, we provide psychological support، sometimes medication and tests to Patients in need without health insurance, clothes, toys and organize parties to Patients and parents in the Hospital. Our main project is building a patient home to allow Patients coming from remote area to continue their chemotherapy cure and be treated with dignity.
