Our rehousing project, JoodVILLAGES, focuses on repairing infrastructure damaged by the September earthquake in the Al Haouz region, and temporarily rehousing disaster victims in safe conditions. The aim of this phase is to guarantee solid, safe shelter, as well as to rehabilitate communities affected by damage to essential infrastructure such as water, electricity and sanitation networks.
Activities carried out :
Water connections: Repair teams worked to restore water pipes in several affected villages, ensuring an adequate water supply for affected families.
Electrification: Sustained efforts were made to restore electricity to affected areas, enabling families to regain access to electricity for their daily needs.
Installation of septic tanks: Work was undertaken to install septic tanks to ensure adequate sanitary conditions in temporary relocation areas, thereby reducing health risks.
Relocation of disaster victims: Several families have been relocated to secure temporary shelters pending the reconstruction of their damaged homes.
Results achieved:
155 Families rehoused in 155 temporary housing units, ensuring safe shelter for each affected family.
35 Sanitation Units were installed, improving hygiene and sanitation conditions in the temporary rehousing areas.
Recalled objectives :
Repair of 6,014 homes for 6,014 families.
Rehabilitation of infrastructure in 117 affected villages.
Installation of 850 sanitation units to ensure adequate sanitation conditions.
Next objectives :
Finalize infrastructure repairs in remaining villages.
Accelerate the rehousing process for families still affected.
Strengthen sanitation measures to ensure public health in temporary relocation areas.
Develop manufacturing workshops to promote a sustainable economy and offer paid work opportunities for local young people.
