Behind a green door in the medina of Marrakech, fifty-five girls live together in a student residence, while pursuing further education at the institute of their choice. Dar Moustaqbel is a social impact student housing project. Living here enables young disadvantaged girls to fully focus on their studies.
Our study hall is occupied seven days and evenings a week. Hundreds of hours of in-house French and English classes every year. Besides professional language education, we offer tutors for subjects as statistics and bookkeeping, a computer skills course, weekly yoga classes, cycling, and inspiring encounters with scientists, entrepreneurs, teachers and students.
Dar Moustaqbel has noticed the enormous positive effects on exam results of offering students extra tutoring. In the past few years we have been extending these efforts. Our house rules reflect the importance of rigor and good habits. The use of mobile phones, for example, is restricted.
Students take turns cooking, cleaning and washing for all, creating responsibility and training practical skills while maximising the time each of them spends on their education. Strategically located in between several university faculties, our Masterhouse is the logical sequel to Dar Moustaqbel in the old medina of Marrakech.
Twenty-five advanced students following a master or doing an internship after having obtained their diploma, live here in relative autonomy.
