Support High Atlas community earthquake resilience

The past two weeks have been marked by the successful implementation of actions to assist villagers and support towards working animals.

In collaboration with SPANA and local associations of the villages in the Ighil Commune, more than 140 tons of animal feed were distributed across a total of 29 villages in Ighil. This effort has benefited nearly 500 working animals in the douars of Ighil, Tassila, Bouhalbak, Ourzdin, Taourirt (Nait Salh), Amerzagan, Izaran, Ouddfit, Tadafalte, Tiguerte, Tizi N’tiguerte, Amskerajn, Aguerd, Ait Chrah, Tizirt, Tazeghzaoute, Tamzaman,Tanfghikht, Aghalla, Tamsoulte, Taourirte, Aoudid, Arg, Timslah, Asloune, Tirkht, Tachaoukst, Agadir and Alous.

In addition, through a partnership with Morocco Animal Aid, we delivered over 400 bales of drief alfalfa across 8 villages in Ighil and 6 villages in Imegdal to support fodder supplies for local livestock. The village of Aguerd alone has 40 cows and the animals in High Atlas communities provide an important source of income as well as food supplies (e.g. milk, butter, cheese).

Additionally, winter clothes distributions have been completed to provide comfort in the Al Haouz region. This time, a collection of winter clothes has been distributed to the villages of Ouddift and Izaran in the Ighil Commune, aiming to bring warmth during the freezing winter season.

We want to thank our GlobalGiving donors for your enduring support in helping communities in need and contributing to the reconstruction of the High Atlas.

We also wish you a wonderful holiday season if you are celebrating and all the best. Thank you for being here.
