Morija means "The Eternal will provide" or, in accordance with another translation, "The Eternal sees". Therefore this name refers to the Christian values upon which the association was founded. It offers help on a social level, without any distinction of race nor religion, and its aim is to help orphans and deprived people of Africa in general and in Sahel more specifically. In 1974, shocked by the magnitude of famine that Ethiopia was living, a group of Christians, led by Michel Raboud, rose and decided to say no to fatalism by offering its help.

These countries have the highest child mortality rates as well as the largest number of Aids and illiteracy victims.
