Clean Drinking Water for 1250 Villagers in Morocco
Organization information
High Atlas Foundation
Location: NYC, NY (US) and Marrakech, Al Haouz (Maroc), Morocco
Summary
This project seeks to provide potable water for 5 villages in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains. Approximately 60% of rural Moroccans lack piped potable water. Unhealthy drinking water causes frighteningly high infant mortality (many families lose half their children to water-borne diseases), shorter life spans and reduced energy for livelihoods. Further, time spent to procure non-potable water adds to the already substantial burden of women and girls and prevents their participation in education.
