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

$5,000

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

$5,000

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

$7,000

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

$2,000

In Bir Anezarane, 143 km from Dakhla, the nomadic community relies on water for drinking and to sustain their sheep and camel herds. The region's families are separated, but share a common need and way of life.

Three wells, essential for life in the region, have steadily worsened over the last five years. Recent wind damage revealed a strong need for repair. The Touirfe well, the Win Ferkane well, and the Ouhifert well need to be deepened and restored, and the community has designed solar-powered pumping systems and a reservoir for water storage. They hope to successfully restore the water infrastructure of Bir Anezarane to full functionality.

In the paper report submitted after the participatory planning session, the community wrote, “If we can find a way to fund this project and repair these wells, we are all committed to starting and protecting this project. We hope this project will be implemented by summer.”

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.
