On June 21st, Aidez Nous à Aider (ANA) hosted a powerful and informative webinar showcasing the ongoing work of the organization and its vision for the future. The session brought together supporters, volunteers, and migrant participants to highlight how creativity, digital skills, and solidarity can create meaningful opportunities for undocumented migrants living in Morocco.
Building a Safe and Empowering Hub
The event opened with a presentation from ANA founder Brynn Campbell, who outlined the urgent need for a physical office and safe workspace for migrants. The envisioned space will offer:
- Reliable internet access
- A quiet place to learn and create
- Emergency accommodation for up to four nights
- A space for team meetings, mentorship, and workshops
Participants shared firsthand experiences of overcrowded living conditions and the lack of stable environments for study or work. The proposed office will serve as a vital step toward long-term stability and community building.
Training Migrants in Digital Skills
A major focus of the webinar was ANA’s ongoing digital skill development program, where migrants are trained in:
- Video editing
- Motion graphics
- Canva and digital marketing
- Social media content creation
These are marketable, remote-friendly skills that allow participants to earn income online—especially important for those without access to traditional employment opportunities.
Merch by Migrants: A Creative Form of Resistance
The webinar also showcased ANA’s unique “Merch by Migrants” initiative, where migrants design shoes that tell their stories. Many migrants have had their shoes taken by authorities during arrests, and this project reclaims that narrative—turning loss into empowerment.
Each pair is more than a product; it’s a piece of personal expression and resistance.
Activism Through Art and Environmental Projects
The audience was introduced to mural projects led by migrants, which serve as public acts of remembrance for those lost at sea and calls for justice in the migration crisis. These murals create space for reflection and dialogue while beautifying local communities.
ANA also highlighted its Trash to Treasure project, where migrants transform market waste into jewelry. This initiative blends environmental activism with skill-building, allowing participants to create and sell upcycled art.
The webinar ended with an open Q&A where attendees asked about funding, project outcomes, and ways to get involved. ANA emphasized its transparent use of resources and detailed how funds directly support the new office and training programs.
The session concluded with a call for donors, partners, and volunteers to join ANA’s journey—whether through monthly donations, spreading the word, or supporting their creative projects.
ANA’s work is about more than aid—it’s about equity, access, and community-driven change. Their programs prove that when migrants are given the tools and trust to create, they can lead their own paths forward.
