Addicted Children Living in the Street in Morocco: Marrakesh as a Case Study

This study aims to explore the phenomenon of homelessness among children in Morocco. Poverty, broken families, addiction are the main reasons for this social problem. These factors have the potential of seriously affecting children throughout their life. The prevalence of homeless children living in the streets of Moroccan cities is dramatically high. We wanted to understand better what drives these children to live in the streets. Hence, we investigated their daily life in the city of Marrakesh.
