    Street children in Morocco number around 30,000 who live in poverty without access to school. In Casablanca alone there are around 7,000 street children, many of whom were abandoned or fled domestic abuse. While some street children work during the day and sleep at home at night, others spend every night on the streets. Similar issues exist in other Moroccan cities like Marrakech, where homeless children earn a few dirhams each day selling small items, which they use to buy drugs to cope with the stress of their daily lives. Poverty, unemployment, and lack of family care or affection are cited as contributing factors for children living on the streets.

    [1] Street children in Morocco number approximately 30,000 living in poverty and outside the school system,
    these children are easy targets for urban violence and all kinds of drugs, marginalization, and exploitation. Their
    future is as dark as the streets they live on. In Casablanca, approximately 7,000 children live in this condition.
    Most of them were abandoned or chose to escape domestic abuse and violence. While some of them work in the
    streets during the day and go home at night to sleep, others would spend the night on the streets.
    [2] Such social phenomenon is not unique to Casablanca. In Marrakech, another big city in Morocco,
    homeless children struggle to earn a few Dirhams by selling packets of tissues, tourist guides, and other products
    daily. With these few Dirhams, these children can buy all kinds of drugs, just to alleviate the stress of their daily
    lives. According to official statistics, the number ranges between 10,000 and 30,000. However, the source of this
    problem is easier to pinpoint. The poverty and unemployment affecting numerous Moroccan families and the
    lack of care and affection given to certain children in the family environment are some of the factors that force
    children to live on the streets.
