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!
Desks for earthquake-damaged school in Morocco
This project will accelerate the re-opening of Imi Oughlad primary school, a rural school found in the Imlil Valley of the High Atlas Mountains. The school was close to the epicentre of the earthquake which struck Morocco in September 2023. It was badly damaged and reconstruction is now underway. Our aim is to make sure classrooms are well-equipped with new furniture and educational materials so that face to face learning can be reinstated as soon as the rebuild is complete.
Choti Choti Nekiyan Patient Care
Every individual, every story is unique. We approach each "Choti Choti Nakiyan" case with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to finding personalized solutions. Whether it's assisting with a minor issue or providing support through a challenging situation, we believe that every effort counts
Support High Atlas community earthquake resilience
On 9/8/2023, a massive earthquake struck Marrakech & the High Atlas with deadly force. We are committed to providing immediate & long-term support to alleviate immense suffering & restore resilience of rural communities where we have worked for 10+ years, including at Dar Taliba. Our hearts ache for our team & communities who have lost family & seen their homes reduced to rubble. These villages are among the most marginalised & remote in Morocco. Please help us to provide relief & rebuild.
Earthquake Recovery Appeal
On September 8, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit the High Atlas region where our boarding houses are located. Five out of six of EFA's boarding houses were destroyed. All students from the region have been temporarily relocated to schools near Marrakech. Your donations will enable us to continue providing and running temporary boarding house accommodation and care for EFA students during the recovery period as well as (re)build new houses and repair the damaged houses.
Morocco Earthquake Response Fund
On 8th September 2023, Morocco was hit hard by a strong earthquake measuring magnitude 6.8. Remote communities in the High Atlas Mountains were badly affected. The Eve Branson Foundation has worked quickly with our partners to lead a co-ordinated response to get emergency relief on the ground in Asni and support long-term recovery efforts. Providing aid and support for families and staff from EBF and Kasbah Tamadot is our priority and to ensure nearby communities have adequate shelter.
Urgent Earthquake Response in Morocco
In September 2023, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake - the most powerful in Morocco's modern history - struck outside of Marrakesh. More than 2,500 people have been killed and the number of people injured and displaced is increasing by the hour as aftershocks continue to spread. ActionAid is working alongside local partners to evaluate the immediate needs of some of the worst-affected communities. A gift will enable us to support relief efforts like this around the world.
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.
SOS Earthquake Solidarity Morocco
Morocco has been hit hard by a violent earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8, leaving 2946 people dead and 5674 injured. Isolated communities in the High Atlas have been hard hit. The Fondation Orient Occident in coordination with the local authorities and associations, is working to deploy its intervention plan to help the population affected by the earthquake. Our priority is to meet the urgent and long-term needs for hit population in rural areas who receive no intervention.

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.
