Caritas Morocco started with a double foundation because at that time Morocco was divided into two protectorates and there were two independent Caritas organisations. One was called Secours Catholique based in Casablanca and was recognised in 1947, the other, called Secrétariat diocésain de Charité, was based in Tetouan and was founded in 1953. The two organizations were reunited at the independence of Morocco in 1956. Caritas Morocco was recognised as a member of Caritas Internationalis in October 1957. The two diocesan Caritas organisations - Rabat and Tangiers - voluntarily maintained a large degree of autonomy. Its organisation is divided into small teams of volunteers in some cities of the archdioceses of Rabat and Tangier.
