Ramadan Giving Campaign: Clean Drinking Water for 1,600 People
By Kate McLetchie - Country Director, August 24, 2009 02:16 PM
HAF’s project to bring clean drinking water to Moroccan villages is featured as part of GlobalGiving’s Ramadan Giving Campaign.
Thanks to generous supporters like you, we've already raised over $15,000 of the $25,000 project goal! A special gift this Ramadan will help us get that much closer to completing the project.
Please consider making a life changing gift to help 1,600 people in five villages in southern Morocco have access to safe drinking water. Just $15 provides clean drinking water for one person and $150 for an entire family.
From all of us at the High Atlas Foundation, Mabrouk Ramadan!

First water project complete!
By Kate McLetchie - Country Director, July 01, 2009 11:36 AM
We are happy to report that we have successfully completed our first clean drinking water project with the village of Aguerzrane, in the Tifnoute Valley. This project will benefit 300 people. We have included a few of the early photos with this update, and will follow-up soon with photos of the completed project (water flowing out of faucets and all!). We are now working with four more villages to bring them clean drinking water, and will be sure to update you on our progress. Thank you for your important support of this project!

Spring Update and Help HAF "Fill the Glass"!
By Kate McLetchie - Country Director, March 16, 2009 02:48 PM
HAF's project to bring clean drinking water to five Moroccan villages is featured as part of GlobalGiving's "Fill the Glass" fundraiser in celebration of World Water Day. Between March 10th and March 30th, HAF has the opportunity to earn an additional $1,000 in funding if the project receives at least $10,000 in donations during this time period.
Just $15 provides clean drinking water for one person - every drop counts! What small thing can you do this week to contribute to this life-saving effort? Give up your morning coffee run and brew it at home? Walk instead of taking a taxi? Bring your lunch to work instead of buying it? Let us know what you are doing to help bring clean drinking water to Moroccan families by leaving a comment on HAF’s blog: http://www.highatlasfoundation.org/blog
Thanks to the continued generosity of donors like you, HAF has already started implementation of three clean drinking water projects - benefitting approximately 1,000 people (pictures will be included in the next update!). Raising an additional $11,000 will bring clean drinking water to two more villages, drastically improving the public health conditions of a total of 1,600 people for this project. Thank you for your continued support!

By Kate McLetchie - Country Director, December 30, 2008 05:25 PM
Thank you to everyone who participated in GlobalGiving's Everybody Can Win! challenge. HAF surpassed the $5,000/50 donor goal with an overwhelming $10,655 from 93 donors -allowing us to secure an additional $2,500 in bonus prizes!
The funds will be used to immediately bring clean drinking water to two villages, benefiting approximately 600 people. We are currently in the field working with communities to implement the projects, and we will post another update with photos very soon.
Thank you for giving the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season - we are so grateful for your support.

We are ready to implement! HAF's field coordinator spent the past couple of months living and working with the beneficiary communities to help them create technical plans for the water projects, identify basin locations, and engage partners in the design process.
We look forward to posting another update soon with more photos of the project!

July Update
By Kate McLetchie - Country Director, August 05, 2008 06:54 PM
During the months of August and September, HAF is organizing meetings with the five communities benefitting from this GlobalGiving project. During these meetings we will collect important baseline information (i.e., infant mortality rates, amount of time currently spent procuring water, etc.) and also work with the partnering associations to create an action plan for project implementation.
As soon as we raise $5,000 we will be able to implement the first potable water system with one village. We hope this can happen later this fall!
We will post photos and another update in September.
