We want to thank each and every individual that has donated to this campaign so far. It has enabled us to take action where most needed and to respond to urgent requests for support and to reach so many communities.

While our team is working tirelessy in the field in collaboration with local partners including Moroccan Biodiversity & Livelihoods Assocation, here are a few quick updates on the past two days:

  • On Monday 18th September, our team was able to provide medical treatment to 78 people in Taourirt, Semghourt, and Taghzout villages with the help of the Aerial Recovery team. We also distributed olive oil, fava beans, oranges and clothes were in Aourigh and Anammer villages (see image of Annamer, below).
  • We transported a generous donation of 6 tons of animal feed to the Imegdal nursery, courtesy of Alf Tansift. We will also be sending more fodder to the nursery soon, and this will be distributed amongst surrounding villages. Local mules and donkeys are currently playing a key role in earthquake relief efforts, especially in very remote villages that are only accessible by walking. Given the lack of feed, it is essential we also support local livestock as a part of our aid strategy – as many community members no longer have the means to provide for their animals, which not only represent an important source of income but also an essential means of transport - especially in villages where vehicles cannot access.
  • We continue to collect donations at the office of our partner MBLA in Marrakech, which are taken to affected villages and distributed during our field visits.
  • We are also meeting with varied international NGOs to help streamline their efforts and direct their donations and expertise towards different needs and communities. As part of a long-term strategy, we are collaborating with Archimath to assess how houses can be rebuilt using paraseismic techniques and local materials.

We will be updating you again tomorrow with more information. Until then, you can follow us on Instagram or visit our website for updates.
