Michelle Obama Promotes Learning to Empower Moroccan Girls
Contact: K.Drawi, 240-994-2476
ROCKVILLE, Md., June 28, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama arrived in Morocco on Monday night as part of a tour to promote "Let Girls Learn," a US initiative aimed at helping adolescent girls around the world get the education they may otherwise be denied.
Upon arrival in Marrakesh, Mrs. Obama, who was accompanied by her daughters Malia and Sasha and her mother, Marian Robinson was greeted by Princess Lalla Salma, spouse of King Mohammed VI.
On Tuesday, Michelle Obama participated, in Marrakech, in an exchange with adolescents on the issue of education and girls schooling.
This meeting was also attended by famous American actress Meryl Streep, very active for the access of girls to education, and Indian actress Freida Pinto, who advocates for girls' right to education in the world.
"I'm looking forward to adding more voices to this conversation," the First Lady said to the group of young women.
"We need every one of our citizens, boys and girls, to be empowered," Michelle pointed out.
She added that 62 million girls worldwide do not have access to education for an array of reasons, from lack of resources to cultural norms.
The First Lady's travel to Morocco highlights the commitments made by the Government of the United States through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in partnership with the Kingdom of Morocco to help adolescents in Morocco to continue their studies and not to leave school.
The "Let Girls Learn" initiative, launched in March 2015 by President Barack Obama and his spouse, is to be extended to Morocco, the White House announced Tuesday.
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) also announced during Mrs. Obama's trip to Morocco the allocation of $100 million to be spent on 100,000 Moroccan students, half of whom will be teenage girls. The funds come from $450 million given by the MCC last year to boost education and employability in Morocco.
