Our psychosocial empowerment workshops foster resilience in individuals and communities by offering space and strategies for working through trauma and processing grief. A holistic approach that brings together psychology and social networks, this framework promotes the restoration of social infrastructure as a key support system.

In the weeks following the September 8, 2023 earthquake, we adapted our IMAGINE empowerment program to address the immense need for trauma support. Collaboration with licenced disaster psychologists allowed us to rapidly rework our curriculum and train our team to assist grieving communites as a facet of our earthquake response.

The 4-day workshop provides meals, supplies, and childcare for all women in a village. By providing space and guidance for individuals to share their experiences, express their emotions, and learn coping strategies, we have seen an incredibly positive response as a result of the program.

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.

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.
