TANGER MED FOUNDATION AWARDS TWO RURAL WOMEN’S COOPERATIVES WITH THE NATIONAL ‘LALLA AL MOUTAÂOUINA’ PRIZE

Tanger Med Foundation took part in the 6th edition of the “Lalla Al Moutaâouina” National Prize, held on April 15, 2025, at the headquarters of the State Department for Handicrafts and Social and Solidarity Economy in Rabat. Organized by the Office for the Development of Cooperation (ODCO), under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy, this event aims to promote initiatives led by women’s cooperatives, particularly in rural areas. Out of a total of 388 participating cooperatives, 31 were awarded prizes at this year’s event.

As part of its strategy to support the social and solidarity economy and empower rural women, Tanger Med Foundation presented incentive awards during the ceremony to two women’s cooperatives within its scope of intervention: the KASR AL JAMAL cooperative in M’diq and KAJIA BIO in Fahs Anjra. Both specialize in the production of local cosmetics made from natural ingredients. This support will help strengthen their production capacities, particularly through investments in specialized equipment.
