The Duke and Duchess arrive at @EFAMorocco's Boarding House.

70% of women & girls in Morocco are illiterate. Many have limited access to secondary school or no means of affording transport to school.

@EFAMorocco is a safe place for girls to love and study during the week.

The organisation provides weekly accommodation to girls from rural areas, which allows them to remain in education into secondary school – and go on to achieve qualifications, study at university and pursue careers.

After meeting students, The Duke of Sussex presented Michael McHugo, the Founder of Education for All, with his #MBE – during a special investiture on one of the original boarding houses.

McHugo was awarded the honour for services to improving gender quality in education in Morocco in the 2019 New Year's Honours list.

This evening, Their Royal Highnesses attended a reception at The British Ambassador's Residence in Rabat. The Duke and Duchess were greeted by the Ambassador's children before receiving a traditional rose water welcome.
