In the small premises of the Ar Maure association near the hospital in Rennes, many people from the Moroccan community came early on Saturday morning September 9. A few hours after the earthquake in Morocco, they were already mobilizing to give money and help the inhabitants of Marrakech and its surroundings.
An online prize pool already open
The Ar Maure association opened urgently an online prize pool to raise even more funds. “We share the link on our WhatsApp groups. We have a lot of contact with Moroccans or Franco-Moroccans here. They have already started to participate,” specifies Mohamed Azri, secretary general of the association.
Ar Maure volunteers will also go directly on the stairs “There will be people at the Blosne market, the Villejean market and the Sainte-Thérèse market. We want people who cannot travel to be able to donate too,” explains the vice-president of the association, Mohamed Bousfiha.
Donations to remote villages
The main goal is to raise money to send it directly to the people on site, but also equipment. “Hygiene products, pharmaceutical products, blankets or even clothes”details Abdelouahid, volunteer at Ar Maure. “We also need to be able to transport them. We are working on this issue to bring the equipment on site and distribute it.”
Et the material will not be distributed in Marrakech. “It has affected remote regions which are destitute. There are entire villages which have been destroyed,” tell it president of the association, Saadia Anafal. It is located in Morocco, next to the capital Rabat. “Our aid will be concentrated on these people, in the province of Al Haouz south of Marrakech. There are already things being done in Marrakech, we want to go to the most distant villages.”
