Run To Start projects
SUPPORT THE NEXT GENERATION
RUN TO START is a non-profit organization that aims to support schoolchildren in the southern regions of Morocco.
About us
This adventure started in 2016, when Pol, Said, Jan and Bart decide to get moving and unite around a cause.
After a 200 km in the Sahara desert the four friends discovered this remote desert region fifty kilometres away from Zagora, a city in southern Morocco. They were able to meet the locals, and among others, the children of the Boutyouss school and their parents.
The four sport enthusiasts, who fell in love with the region and its inhabitants, tried to find a way to help and support these children as well as their scholarships.
This is how the non-profit organisation “Run To Start” was created ...
The Cherif Alaoui school in Zagora
A little while ago, we had the pleasure to meet part of the educational team of the Cherif Alaoui school in Zagora, which has a dedicated class for children with Down’s Syndrome.
The teachers shared the problems the school is facing, we wanted to join forces to find solutions.
We have decided to focus on the different projects of Cherif Alaoui School for the coming years
Boutyouss School
The past years gave us the opportunity to visit the Boutyouss region, which is located some fifty kilometers south of Zagora.
The several trips to the region were meant to meet the kids, the teacher, the parents, but also the local authorities to establish a dialogue and an exchange.
Scholarship in the Boutyouss school is one of the main problems that came up during these exchanges.
We have been able to support different projects
for the region of Boutyouss, unfortunately because of the current situation that does not allow us to raise enough funds for all our projects, we had to make choices
and decided to focus on projects concerning
the school of Cherif Alaoui.
Get Involved
We need your help for every one of our projects!
Our different fundraisers make it possible to sustain our current projects, but we still have so much more to do to help the children of the Cherif Alaoui school.
Each cent is useful! If you would like to contribute to one of our projects, please make a donation to our bank account.
