What's Happening and How to Help

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are in the best position to provide long-term support for survivors of natural disasters like these. By funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future challenges.

The projects listed below are led by vetted GlobalGiving partners responding to this disaster. You can donate directly to a specific project or to GlobalGiving’s Morocco Earthquake Relief Fund and we'll allocate it to where it's needed most. GlobalGiving will post reports about how your donation has been put to use.

Earthquake Rebuilding with Communities in Morocco
On September 8, 2023, an earthquake in Morocco left thousands injured and deceased in five provinces of the Atlas Mountains. The High Atlas Foundation, already working in that region, immediately launched with its partners a dynamic, multidimensional earthquake relief and recovery program to help the affected communities. Today, support is still needed for psychosocial healing and rebuilding. Donate now to earthquake relief, recovery, and rebuilding!
Strengthen Long Term Al-Haouz Earthquake Recovery
High Atlas Earthquake Recovery - Almost 2 Years of Action and Resilience Following the devastating 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Morocco's High Atlas in September 2023, Global Diversity Foundation rapidly mobilised its long-standing presence in the region to deliver immediate, life-saving support. Within 48 hours, we transitioned from biodiversity and cultural conservation to emergency aid, reaching isolated communities with essentials: food, water, shelter, medicine, and hygiene kits.
Rebuild Boarding Houses After The Earthquake
The recent earthquake in Al Haouz destroyed two vital boarding houses, forcing students to move far from their families or drop out of school. Amis Des Ecoles is rebuilding these facilities, with 30% of construction completed and 60% of the $2.4M budget raised. These houses will keep students near home, ensuring safe accommodations and access to education. Your support is essential to raise the remaining funds and finish the project before the next school year.

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
