Aidez Nous à Aider (ANA) is a non-profit organization committed to addressing the challenges faced by undocumented migrants in Morocco. Through skill development programs, environmental projects, creative initiatives, and advocacy, we strive to create positive change, empower migrant communities, and raise awareness about the migration crisis. Since our founding in 2015, we have worked to support migrants through various initiatives and provide them with the tools to build a better future.
In the past year, ANA continued to grow, both in impact and reach, collaborating with local communities, artists, organizations, and volunteers to develop meaningful solutions to the migration crisis. This annual report highlights the accomplishments of our organization, outlines our vision and mission, and provides a financial snapshot of how the funds donated to ANA were used in 2024.
Word from the Founder/Executive Director
As the founder of Aidez Nous à Aider, I have witnessed the strength, resilience, and determination of migrants who have faced immense hardship in search of a better life. Every day, I am inspired by the individuals we serve and the people who come together to support them.
This year, we have been fortunate to see the direct impact of our programs. Our skill development initiatives, such as training migrants in video editing, motion graphics, and digital marketing, have allowed them to gain meaningful employment opportunities and build sustainable careers. Our mural project has also grown into an international movement, with our logo being painted in over 16 countries, creating a powerful visual statement about the migration crisis.
However, our work is far from finished. We continue to face challenges, including the need for better systems of regularization, more inclusive safety nets for migrants, and improved outreach programs. But I believe that together, we can make a difference. The past year has been a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of collective action. As we look ahead, we remain committed to our mission of empowering migrants and creating positive change.
Thank you to all of our supporters, partners, and volunteers who have made this work possible. Your continued dedication is critical to our success.
Warm regards,
Brynn Campbell

Vision
Our vision is to create a world where migrants are treated with dignity, respect, and empathy. We envision a future where migrants are integrated into societies and supported in their journey toward stability, security, and opportunity. Through our projects, we aim to raise awareness about the migrant experience and inspire action that will lead to more inclusive systems for migrants worldwide.
Mission
Aidez Nous à Aider’s mission is to empower undocumented migrants in Morocco by providing education, skill-building opportunities, creative outlets, and financial support through collaborative initiatives. We believe in providing marginalized communities with the tools they need to thrive, including access to jobs, environmental initiatives, and platforms for self-expression. By working together with local organizations, governments, and artists, we strive to create an environment where migrants are seen as valuable contributors to society, rather than as marginalized groups.
