Plant Organic Fruit Trees with African Farmers

The Loukkah Cooperative of the rural commune of Maghrawa, Taza, organized a celebratory meeting marking the end of the almond harvest on October 2nd.

All partners who contributed to supporting and assisting the cooperative in carrying out its activities were invited to this event.

Special thanks and appreciation were extended to the High Atlas Foundation for its valuable efforts, including the provision of 10,000 almond seedlings and more than 19,000 olive saplings this season, in addition to continuous support, guidance, and participation in the tree-planting day celebration.

Many entities attended the meeting, including local, provincial, and regional administrations, cooperatives, associations, and local authorities — totaling over sixty participants.

This offered an opportunity to give a detailed presentation about the High Atlas Foundation and its diverse programs.

The presentation covered the following main objectives of the High Atlas Foundation:

• Promoting sustainable development for associations, cooperatives, and educational institutions, and empowering women and youth to participate economically and socially in their communities
• Planting and distributing organic fruit trees and encouraging sustainable agricultural practices to support the local economy and protect the environment
• Providing clean water sources, particularly through renewable energy such as solar panels and pumps
• Offering support in cases of disasters and natural crises
• Providing training for associations and cooperatives to strengthen their knowledge and capacity in managing their activities
• Environmental education and awareness programs on the importance of the environment and trees
• Implementing carbon offset programs through tree planting

It is noted that the High Atlas Foundation holds a special position of respect and appreciation among cooperatives, administrations, and residents in the Taza region.

This has made continued cooperation, partnerships, and participation in the Foundation’s programs an essential priority in this area.
