This past week marked significant progress in earthquake relief efforts, with impactful activities centred on aiding the affected communities. In the communes of Talat N’Yaaqoub and Ighil, the third and fourth rounds of seed distribution were a success, demonstrating a collective effort between local associations and collaborative partners.
In a coordinated initiative, a total of 15 tons of barley, 500 kg of Faba beans, 200 kg of peas, 20 kg of carrots, and 20 kg of turnips were distributed in each commune. This extensive seed distribution directly benefited farmers and villagers in more than 55 douars, all of whom were struggling with the aftermath of the earthquake, having lost their seeds. Timely execution ensured that the seeds reached the communities just in time for the anticipated rains this week.
Local associations expressed their satisfaction with the quality of the distributed seeds, paving the way for future steps in the relief process. upcoming activities will involve closely monitoring the progress of the crops, repairing essential irrigation canals, and conducting laboratory tests on the distributed seeds to ensure their efficacy.
In collaboration with Sign of Hope, a visit was also made to the heavily impacted villages of Okhriben, Lmkhazen, and Targa in the Imegdal commune. We delivered essential hygiene products to these communities, including soap, shampoo, sanitary pads, toothpaste and toothbrushes.
Recognizing the harsh winter conditions faced by those taking shelter in non-cold-resistant tents, the relief efforts extended to providing much-needed winter clothing. The continuous support from generous donors, who contributed winter clothing, baby diapers, children’s toys, and various other essential items, played an essential role in enhancing the impact of the relief activities. We express our gratitude for your unwavering support in assisting the communities in need during these critical moments.
Thank you, for your continious support to our project.
