Invest in Rural Education

Many rural schools are not equipped with toilets or basic infrastructure. This situation reduces morale. Building gender-segregated bathrooms has a profound effect on girl's attendance.

New Chair of HAF's Board

Mr. Thomas Anderson, chair of the board, has been a longtime supporter of the HAF and its participatory development mission since its very beginning, serving as a Co-Founder of the Foundation back in 2000.

New Projects in Boujdour

In the southern province of Boujdour, HAF created a local association and completed a participatory training and assessment. Stay tuned for more information.

Organic Agriculture

HAF will plant its 1 millionth tree in January. Our fruit tree agriculture initiative improves the livelihood of rural Moroccans, while maintaining an eco-friendly approach to economic growth.

Cultural Preservation

Unearth the secrets of Essaouira's multicultural past. Read about our cultural preservation project in Essaouria and US council general Brian Shukan's visit to the project site in the press.

Clean Renewable Energy

Check out our newest project! Biomass briquette systems which repurpose agricultural waste for clean energy

Celebrating Success

These projects tell the story of how Morocco and other nations of regions and the world can cost effectively overcome the serious challenges that we face; pervasive rural poverty, gender and youth marginalization, and land degradation.

Participatory Training Program

HAF intern Zaynab spent time at the training center in Mohammedia. She reports "After a month of interning with HAF, I am convinced not only of the fact that participatory development works, but that it promotes true sustainable development."

Clean Drinking Water Campaign

Unhealthy drinking water causes frighteningly high infant mortality. Learn what you can do to help.
