As part of a humanitarian initiative in Morocco, the village of Douar Igourdane, located in the province of Essaouira, has benefited from a vital project supported by Energy Assistance asbl-vzw. This village is facing severe drought, making access to drinking water extremely difficult for its inhabitants.

The project involved the installation of 28 solar panels, each rated at 560W, as well as a well and a water pump. These installations now ensure access to drinking water for 100 families in the village, while providing a renewable energy source to support the pumping systems. The aim is to meet immediate drinking water needs while promoting sustainability through solar energy.

In parallel, another important project is planned: the construction of a crèche with an annex for the women’s cooperative. This project aims to improve women’s quality of life by giving them more free time, while ensuring a suitable environment for their children. The crèche will enable the women to concentrate more on their activities and work, while ensuring that the children receive the care they need.

The support of Energy Assistance asbl-vzw has been instrumental in bringing these initiatives to fruition, thereby improving the living conditions of local residents. These projects are part of a range of ongoing and future initiatives designed to meet the needs of local communities and promote sustainable development.
