Project Selma launches

On Sunday morning, my wife and I first discussed Project Selma.

On Sunday afternoon, we sent an email.

On Tuesday, we buried our daughter.

Today, Wednesday, we counted over £5,000 in donations. What unbelievable days. And scary… now, we really have to create something that matches the dream.

We are not sure exactly how Project Selma will work. The next weeks we will focus on research, talking to people who know more than us. We will keep you updated, on these pages, as Project Selma takes shape.

  3. This is incredible and Andy and Rizla you are an inspiration to create something so positive and generous out of such sadness.
    I would love to offer time and help to Project Selma in any way I may be of use.

  4. It’s really great idea.
    I admire you both for what you are doing.

  5. It takes a very special kind of person to say “How can we help others?” at a time of grieving. Andy and Ghizlane are those special people.

    This is an amazing project and I look forward to seeing it grow in Selma’s legacy.

  6. Andy and Riz,

    Yay, well done!!

    You are both fabulous.

    I know that with you two behind it, Project Selma is going to make a massive difference to expectant mums in Morocco.

    Passion is the key to success and you have that in bucketfuls, plus the entrepreneurial flair to make it happen.

    What a brilliant thing to do.

    Look forward to helping you spread the word!

    Love, Jemima x

  7. Mes chéris, je vous félicite pour votre projet.
    Vous êtes des gens très très courageux, généreux, malgré la triste histoire qui vous touche en ce moment.
    Selma, notre petite ange est fière de ses parents.
    Je serai heureuse de contribuer a ce projet. Le Maroc est notre pays même si on n y vit pas, aider les gens de la bas serait une bonne chose.
    J admire votre courage et votre motivation. Selma restera ma petite nièce que j oublierai jamais
    Allah ihfadkoum ya habaybi

  8. Merci Amal pour ton message. Bises

  9. It’s just brilliant that, from out of this you’ve managed to find the belief and drive to get something started that will serve both as a tribute and as a legacy. I’m going to contribute – I hope this helps to keep things moving forward.

  10. Hi to you both

    You 2 are so brave, well done for starting this site .

    I will spread the word.

    Take care

  11. I would like to help you. I have been working for MSF (Médecins sans Frontières) since 2007 in Chad, Burma & now Liberia, so can hopefully share some of what I’ve learnt about providing safe, reliable healthcare in low-resource settings. At the moment I am the coordinator for an emergency obstetric & paediatric hospital in Monrovia. Every day we have tragedies here, but every day we also save many lives. Please email me with specific questions regarding Project Selma, I have an incredible staff here with a wealth of information so we can surely be useful to you. Thinking of you both, cousin Emily x
