I am not currently accepting physical donations as we do not have another trip lined up yet, however if you would like to help this orphanage you will find information at the end of the post above. I plan to continue efforts to help the women and children of Marrakech through this project and other women’s empowerment initiatives. I hope you will stay tuned as I share more in the future.
This Ramadan season I have a very special project that I am working on – Mobiles for Morocco. My husband and I are (inshAllah) going to Morocco for a short vacation at the end of September. As many of you know Morocco is a developing country and there is a lot of people in need. The first time I visited and experienced children begging and mothers with their children on the street day and night my heart broke into a million pieces. If this was what was seen on the outside, I couldn’t imagine the desperation behind closed doors.
I wrote to Nora from Life in Marrakesh, who I know has such a strong philanthropic heart to ask what would help. What could I, no what could we do to help?
“There’s a home here for abandoned babies…..”
she wrote. That was it, I knew that was it. She then said the babies spend quite a bit of time in their cribs and it would be nice if they had some mobiles to look at. Even a few that could be rotated around.
It’s so simple friends. It’s something every American parent considers a “must have” with a little one on the way. A recent story from the Voice of America pointed out that 6,000 babies are abandoned in Morocco every year – that’s 1 out of every 50 births. The reasons for this are varied and are for another time. The fact remains there are a lot of homes that are doing their best to care for these children.
Here’s what I’m asking you to consider;
- send me a mobile to take with to this baby home in Marrakech.
- please consider a mobile that is soft and not the traditional hard plastic mobile. I will be able to fit many more small soft travel size mobiles than hard mobiles. Here are some to consider;
- Fisher Price 2 in 1 Projection Mobile
- Tiny Love Sweet Island Dreams Mobile
- NoJo Froggy Friends Musical Mobile
- Bedtime Originals Baby Zoo Musical Mobile
- clothes for girls and boys sized NB-24 months
- baby pajamas with feet and snaps (not zippers) in cotton and heavier fabric (like terry cloth)
- soft toys, if they have lights or play a little song – even better – something like this.
I sincerely appreciate any and all support and interest in this project!
If you are unable to donate items or money but are willing to write about or share this project with your Facebook friends, Twitter followers or write about it on your blog I would sincerely appreciate that also. Please feel free to use the button below to post to your site. I am available to answer any questions you may have!

Most of all I’d like to ask for your prayers. Some of us can give in a variety of different ways but we all can give a few minutes to ask God/Allah (swt) to protect and look over these children, their birth mothers and their caregivers.
If you would like to help out this project please send me an email using “Mobiles for Morocco” in the subject line and let me know how you are willing to help. I will respond to you as soon as possible. Please note I am not currently accepting physical donations until plans for another visit are made.

“Il existe un foyer pour bébés abandonnés ici…” a-t-elle répondu.
- Fisher Price 2 in 1 Projection Mobile
- Tiny Love Sweet Island Dreams Mobile
- NoJo Froggy Friends Musical Mobile
- Bedtime Originals Baby Zoo Musical Mobile
Il ne s’agit pas ici des marques spécifiques à envoyer, mais simplement pou vous donner une idée des objets souhaités. Les mobile ne doivent pas nécessairement être neufs. Mais ils doivent être en bonne condition, propres (svp!) et provenir de foyers non-fumeurs .
Si vous préférez faire un don financier, cela serait également utile au projet. Nous allons personnellement faire parvenir ces dons. Nous anticipons également le paiement de suppléments liés à l’excès de bagages.
Plus que tout, j’aimerais vous demander de penser à ces nouveaux-nés lors de vos prières. Chacun d’entre nous peut participer de différentes manières, mais nous pouvons tous demander à Dieu/Allah de protéger et prendre soin de ces enfants, leurs mères biologiques et les personnes qui en prennent actuelement soin.
Si vous souhaitez collaborer, vous pouvez m’envoyer un email (en précisant “Mobiles for Morocco” en objet) pour proposer votre aide. Je vous répondrai le plus vite possible.
