In September 2023, the Al Haouz earthquake became the strongest ever recorded in Morocco, with tremors felt as far away as Spain and Algeria. Entire villages in the Atlas Mountains were shaken, not only physically, but economically and culturally. Homes collapsed, agricultural terraces crumbled, and livelihoods rooted in centuries-old traditions were suddenly at risk.<\/p>\n

In response, thousands of people have come together to reimplement traditional lifeways that have sustained their families for hundreds of years. Together, they are reconstructing the livelihoods and villages they call home and ensuring a future that protects the people and land for generations to come. <\/p>\n

I feel satisfied here. Tansghart Woodwork Centre means I can live and work near my home village.'\u201d Photo: Eve Branson Foundation<\/small><\/p>\n

Their work is ongoing.<\/strong> Today, new economic opportunities are being carved out by Morocco\u2019s own; traditional farming and lifeways are being restored. Women\u2019s traditional craft collectives are bringing businesses to the mountains. Education remains accessible to thousands of rural students and sustainable housing is being reinforced and reconstructed with earthquake safety measures. <\/p>\n

Together, Moroccan communities are finding new strength in a promising path forward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Over the last two and a half years, generous support to the Morocco Earthquake Relief Fund<\/a> has helped Morocco-based nonprofit partners accomplish this work: one field, one school, one home, and one craft at a time.<\/p>\n

\nCollecting harvests in lush fields, the Global Diversity Foundation is restoring agrobiodiversity, repairing critical water systems, supporting animal health, and empowering local cooperatives and women leaders in earthquake-affected communities.<\/small><\/p>\n

Though this fund is closing after making a final round of grants to nine deeply rooted nonprofits, its impact continues. One partner, Moroccan Biodiversity and Livelihoods Association (MBLA), shared the story of Lalla Yamna, a farmer whose experience reflects this broader recovery:<\/p>\n

“I lost my husband years ago. I lost my provider, my support,” Lalla Yamna said, tears welling in her eyes. “Since then, I have carried the weight alone, managing the fields, trying to keep everything alive. After the earthquake, my terraces were destroyed, and I was left with nothing. No one to help me rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then MBLA came. MBLA helped me restore the terraces, and now I can irrigate and plant once more. You gave me hope. Your help means everything to me.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBit by bit, life returned. The terraces turned green again, water flowed through the reconstructed canals, and hope took root once more.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWorking in partnership with MBLA, community members who still hold deep knowledge of traditional terrace building led the restoration efforts themselves. MBLA supported this work through coordination, farmer field schools, and resources\u2014ensuring that recovery remained rooted in local expertise,\u201d Lalla Yamna said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully, we are slowly returning to our lives. We will never forget the ones we lost, nor the destruction we witnessed, but we are grateful for the efforts that have helped us rebuild.” Lalla Yamna concluded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the Morocco Earthquake Relief Fund is closing, each contribution helped seed a beginning\u2014supporting recovery shaped by tradition, resilience, and care for the land and communities that call it home. In partnership with local organizations like the Moroccan Biodiversity and Livelihoods Association (MBLA), communities are rebuilding in ways that honor land, memory, and shared knowledge. <\/p>\n

What has emerged is not just reconstruction, but continuity: proof that traditions rooted in place can carry people forward, even after profound loss.<\/blockquote\n\n\"\"<\/p>\n
