Plant Olive Trees in Morocco

It rained late in March this year, giving an unexpected window of opportunity to plant olive trees. We're supporting farmers by purchasing olive saplings and distributing them as requests are received.

A Time To Plant

The planting season relies on rainfall. In Morocco, drought has affected farmers' capacity to plant new trees. With the arrival of late rains in March and early April, we're able to expand the planting season if trees can be provided.

Olive trees are the most requested by farmers this season. To meet the demand, we're sourcing olive saplings from local nurseries to supplement the saplings we've grown from seed. We're able to supply these to farmers at a symbolic price, with external funding covering the cost of the tree.

At $1 per tree, you can be a part of expanding the 2024 planting season with trees that will have an impact for generations.

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.
