Our help after Earthquake 8 SEPTEMBER 2023
Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the earthquake in Morocco. The 80 students of Dar Moustaqbel and many of our alumni are safe, but a large number of their families live in the hardest hit areas. The tally now stands at 73 fatalities among their close family members. Parents, brothers and sisters died under the rubble. Entire villages have been destroyed.
All our current students are temporarily sheltered in Dar Moustaqbel Issil, which withstood the quake well. Our dorm in the medina has been damaged. Since 2016 Dar Moustaqbel has been helping young underprivileged female students from rural southern Morocco in their endeavors, by providing student housing, healthy food and a rich educational program.
Now an important task has been added. Emergency relief to the affected villages and rebuilding the homes of the severely affected families in close consultation with the devastated communities. We, our students, alumni, staff, board members, and other volunteers are doing everything we can to support the affected village communities with their urgent needs and to provide future prospects as soon as possible. If you would like to help us rebuild and provide emergency relief, please check out our donation page. Many thanks to our donors and everyone who sent us messages of support.
