The new building was made possible thanks to the dedication of humanitarian architecture charity Article 25 and the extensive support provided by the Sto Group. Oujda is a city with over 550,000 inhabitants in the north-east of Morocco. In this region, an above-average proportion of children are born with cleft lip and palate. Until now there were no specialist doctors or clinics in this poverty-stricken region. In April 2019, international medical charity Operation Smile opened a surgical and dental specialist clinic aimed at providing free medical support for over 600 families per year. Operation Smile, the architecture charity Article 25, and the Sto Group are partners and sponsors of the project. www.werkstatt.sto.com The series of linked buildings, sited to the south east of the city centre, have been designed to provide enough office space to eventually accommodate up to 3,000 people by 2025. 6
