Strengthen Long Term Al-Haouz Earthquake Recovery

On the 10th of October 2023, we embarked on a mission to the Lmakhzen Village within the Ijoukak commune. Our objective was to deliver 43 gas heaters to the families residing in this village. Furthermore, in preparation for the impending winter chill, we stored an additional 111 gas heaters in Imegdal, reserving them for a future distribution event scheduled for the villages of Warti and Anamer.

During this visit, we were able to distribute essential supplies received from our Agadir team. At the same time, we got the opportunity to evaluate the quality of the temporary shelters set in the region, a particularly pressing concern given the plummeting temperatures and the encroaching winter season.

Our journey did not end in Ijoukak. We continued onwards to Talat N’Yaaqoub, where we met with one of the cooperatives with whom we have been collaborating with. Our primary goal was to have a deeper understanding of their specific requirements. We engaged their representative to gather a comprehensive list of their immediate needs to better shape our ongoing needs assessment for this period.

In our continuous commitment to assist the underserved communities of this region, we next found ourselves in Imi Uzrgi, where we met with the focal point responsible for coordinating relief efforts. A thorough needs assessment was also conducted there to better understand their needs. With this knowledge, we are now better equipped to provide the necessary supplies, including heaters, blankets, flashlights and various other essentials to ensure the comfort and well-being of those we are here to support.

Thanks to the support of our GlobalGiving community we are able to provide these much needed supplies, especially as winter cold is only weeks away. Thank you.
