Eve Branson Foundation Pack for Purpose (Oh Yes, She Has One Too)

https://www.packforapurpose.org/destinations/africa/morocco/kasbah-tamadot/

Project 1

Asni Creche is a community facility providing a free-of-charge, pre-school activity center for 150 young boys and girls living in remote Berber communities in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/justluxe/create-a-lasting-impact-w_b_5298325.html

Project 2

Asni is a gateway for many travelers to the higher Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Asni has a large comprehensive secondary school, however transportation to the school from the mountain villages is very limited and as a result, many young students, particularly girls living in more remote villages, are dropping out of education. http://www.stiftung-media.de/web/en/youth-music-school-in-asni-morocco/

Project 3

The Eve Branson Foundation develops community craft houses and vocational training programs for 70 young women in the high Atlas villages of Morocco. https://www.virgin.com/virgin-unite/leadership-and-advocacy/eve-branson-fundraising-morocco

Project 4

Berber communities are encouraged to build preschools and nurseries in the remote villages of the High Atlas Mountains, where children can thrive in a caring and stimulating environment. However, this is often with minimal financial support and limited resources to run activities and maintain the projects. http://www.virginlimitededition.com/en/blog/kasbah-tamadot/kasbah-tamadot-building-for-the-future

In 2009 Rothney founded (Pack for a Purpose), a nonprofit that encourages those visiting places like Kenya or Belize to reserve five pounds' worth of space in their luggage—enough room for a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, and 500 bandages, or five deflated soccer balls plus an inflation device—for items needed in schools and clinics near their destination. "Leaving one pair of shoes at home lets you bring 150 pencils or four solar calculators," Rothney says. The site lists lodgings in 31 countries that have partnered with local groups (who post lists of their needed items), letting visitors donate right at the front desk.

how is this old coot still alive? She looks like a CORPSE! Is she on her 19th heart like our old friend D Roths?

I read R Brans autioboagraphy years ago. He was bought up super upper class (so dont believe the he's self made part for a moment.) Ma Branson spoilt the heck out of him creating that unbelievable superego :/
