Challenge

More than three years after Morocco's devastating September 2023 earthquake, many families and communities are still struggling to rebuild their homes and livelihoods. Vulnerable households face challenges accessing safe housing, while local workers, small businesses, and women's cooperatives lack the resources, skills, and opportunities needed for economic recovery. Without continued support, these challenges threaten the long-term stability and resilience of earthquake-affected communities.

Solution

The Near East Foundation (NEF) is helping earthquake-affected communities in Morocco rebuild through an integrated approach that strengthens housing, livelihoods, and local economies. The project provides shelter rehabilitation grants to vulnerable families, trains construction workers in earthquake-resilient techniques, and supports small businesses and women's cooperatives through training, mentoring, and financial assistance. By investing in local skills and sustainable economic opportunities
