HIBAPRESS – Yassine Damiri
The 2026 draft finance law includes a new social measure that provides for the allocation of additional aid to orphaned children and neglected children residing in social care institutions, in a step that reflects the government's keenness to strengthen family justice and attention to the most vulnerable groups within society.
This decision comes within a comprehensive vision to consolidate the principles of solidarity and social solidarity, which constitute one of the basic pillars of the state's policy in the field of social protection. In this regard, the Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah, explained during her presentation of the contents of the draft law to the nation's deputies that this increase aims to alleviate the burdens of living on the institutions in charge of caring for children in difficult situations and enable them to improve the conditions of accommodation, care and educational and social framing for these children. She also affirmed that this measure constitutes an extension of the government's efforts to support childhood and protect its rights, in line with the high royal directives in this field. The Minister added that the government will accompany this decision by expanding the financing base allocated to the Social Support Fund, and that is through extending the work of the social solidarity contribution, which is one of the basic mechanisms to ensure the sustainability of financial resources directed to social programs of a humanitarian and solidarity nature. This measure is considered an additional step towards strengthening the social protection network for children in a situation of vulnerability, and consecrating the values of compassion and shared responsibility within society. It also reflects the state's continuous commitment to providing support and care for groups that need special protection, thus contributing to their social integration and providing better opportunities for their growth in a safe environment that preserves their dignity and basic rights.
