Eco-Friendly Tree Sacks Program

In Morocco, women are harnessing their skills, determination, and creativity to build stronger communities and sustainable livelihoods. The Eco-Friendly Tree Sacks Program, led by the High Atlas Foundation, is supporting this movement by providing women with the tools and training they need to thrive—while also making a lasting environmental impact.

Women in rural Morocco have a wealth of potential, creativity, and ambition. What they need are the right resources and opportunities to bring their ideas to life. The Tree Sacks Program does just that by offering hands-on training, cooperative development, and sustainable economic opportunities.

The Eco-Friendly Tree Sacks Program

The Eco-Friendly Tree Sacks Program is an innovative initiative that empowers women in rural Morocco through skills training, cooperative development, and environmental action. By producing biodegradable tree sacks as a sustainable alternative to plastic in agriculture, women are generating income, gaining independence, and leading the way in climate-conscious farming.

This program brings together women’s empowerment and environmental sustainability—proving that when women thrive, communities and ecosystems do too.

Psychosocial Empowerment

An adaptation of our IMAGINE workshop developed with psychologists after the September 8th earthquake, psychosocial workshops provide space for processing trauma and tools for mental, spiritual, and emotional recovery.

Wells for Bir Anezarane Commune

The Tewirf Association, representing the nomadic community in Bir Anezarane commune, has proposed a project to restore and expand existing infrastructure on three critical wells.

Located between Dakhla Oued Ed Dabah and Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra, Tourife provides water for drinking and watering camels in both regions.

Located in Bir Anezarane commune, these two wells provide water for nomadic communities and their livestock.

Constructing reservoirs for water storage will expand the capacity of the Touirfe Well, the Win Ferkane Well, and the Ouhifert Well.

Two wells need new solar pumps installed, and one needs a nonfunctioning solar pump repaired.
