Morocco has published a new implementing decree setting out the conditions and procedures for granting direct financial aid to orphans and abandoned children living in social care institutions, under Law 58.23 on direct social support.
The decree, published in the Official Gazette on December 25, 2025, establishes eligibility criteria, registration rules, and payment mechanisms. Orphans must be Moroccan nationals, registered in the national population registry, and not covered by family allowances or higher-value scholarships. Abandoned children must meet the same conditions and be covered by a final court ruling declaring abandonment.
Applications will be submitted digitally by directors of social care institutions, with data shared between relevant ministries and the National Social Support Agency for verification. Appeals may be filed within 30 days in case of rejection.
The aid is set at 500 dirhams per month and deposited in an account opened in the child’s name at the Deposit and Management Fund. Payments will accumulate until legal adulthood, with a guaranteed minimum of 10,000 dirhams upon release.
While the decree strengthens social protection for vulnerable children, concerns remain over the capacity of local welfare bodies to ensure smooth and effective implementation nationwide.
