In the initial wave of earthquake response, national and international relief teams rushed to provide tents to families whose houses were damaged or destroyed. However, with the advent of the winter rainy season and weather conditions, an intermediate housing solution is urgently needed to address the gap between the immediate solution of tents for houseless families and the long-term reconstruction of homes.

After extensive research and assessment, we began constructing shelters. The project is ongoing as funding is available, and the shelters that have been constructed have been incredibly well-received and have successfully withstood winter weather conditions.

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.
