Not all Muslim nations are filled with large populations of followers of Islam. While most people in Muslim nations are born into the faith, in countries such as Indonesia, Iran, and Lebanon; many practice other faiths, are atheists, or just don’t practice Islam in their daily life. Morocco, however, is a nation where Islam has had a stronghold for a long time. Today, Morrocco is one of the most conservative, Islamic states in the Middle East.

Morocco Earthquake: Traveling to High Atlas Mountains
Our friend and contact on the ground in Morocco recently shared, “Our conversations revealed poignant stories, including the tragic death of a 14-year-old in their village. Another person had a massive rock sitting on their home after it fell from the mountain, and miraculously didn’t cause any harm to his family members. The villagers were living without proper shelter, on the riverside, risking flooding in the coming months of winter. Their remote location left them feeling disconnected from the care and support they so desperately needed. We distributed games for the children, as well as bags with essential food and supplies.”
Morocco Earthquake: Coordinating Efforts
As we partner with our contacts and their network on the ground, our hope is to send funds to purchase and deliver supplies to 100 families in the most remote and heavily impacted region. These supplies will include iron tents, food, water tanks, blankets, clothes, solar energy packs, sanitation equipment, and more. These efforts will help affected families face the oncoming winter.
If you would like to help support these families, you can do so through the Global Strategy Disaster Relief fund. One hundred percent of your donation will go to the Moroccan relief efforts. Simply click on the link and fill out the information. Make sure to write “Morocco” in the memo section.
