Summer 2027 · Al Hoceima
We're building the first Rifāq summer in Al Hoceima — bringing together young people who live here and those who return from abroad, through friendship, challenge, service and faith.
The first summer is being built now. Dates, format and capacity are still being shaped.
Where it began
Six minutes, told in drawings: how a dream about Al Hoceima became a plan for its children.
In English, with subtitles.
What is Rifāq?
Rifāq is a youth initiative we’re building in Al Hoceima.
We want to bring together young people who grow up here and those who return each summer — to make friends, try new things, grow in faith and do good for others.
We’re starting with Rifāq Summer 2027. Over time, we hope to establish a waqf that can sustain this work for future generations.
Rifāq Summer · 2027
We want young people to make real friends, discover what they’re capable of and experience the joy of doing good together.
Meet children who call Al Hoceima home, whether they live here all year or return every summer.
Sport, adventure and challenges that are better when you experience them together.
Grow in character, strengthen family ties and do something meaningful for others.
These are experiences we’re exploring for Summer 2027. Families and young people will help shape the final programme. Rifāq has not run yet.
The people beside them
Rifāq is being built around small groups with the same trusted adults, from the first day to the last — people who will learn every child's name, encourage them, notice when someone is left out, and lead by example.
We call them companions.
Read the full safety planHelp build the first summer
We’re shaping the first Rifāq summer with the families and people who want to be part of it. Your answers can help decide who it’s for, when it takes place and what children get to experience.
For families
Tell us what your children would love, and what would make you feel confident sending them. About five minutes.
Help shape Summer 2027For future companions
The adults come long before the children. Interviews, references and training take months, and the first summer depends on having the right people in place well before it begins.
Become a companionThis is an invitation to help shape Rifāq, not registration for a confirmed programme.
