We are supporting families facing freezing temperatures after a very real earthquake – the one that shook Morocco in early September.
The earthquake caused massive damage in remote villages in the Atlas Mountains and our teams arrived to find thousands of mountainside homes completely collapsed.
Winter can be brutal in the Atlas Mountains and with temperatures about to become dangerously low, families in Morocco faced a race against time to give themselves the best chance of making it through the winter months.
Khadija told us what winter is like in her village. “There is snow here in winter, the weather is very cold, and it rains.”
With hard winter conditions in mind, we asked Khadija what items she was most looking forward to receiving, to which she replied. “All of them, everything. I just want a good tent for the winter. Our biggest fear here, you can ask anyone. It is the winter.”
We’re responding to disasters around the world this winter. Help us to be there for people wherever the need is greatest.
Thermal blankets for a family
A donation of £49 could provide thermal blankets, bringing much-needed essential extra warmth for people facing freezing winter temperatures.
Family warmth bundle
For £88, your donation could help whole families stay warm and dry as temperatures drop with a bundle of warm winter clothing in both adult and children’s sizes.
Shelter warmth kit
A donation of £205 can supply a shelter warmth kit, with essentials like tarpaulins to keep out the rain, and mattresses and blankets to ward off the cold.
Your donation will go to our general fund, which will help families in Syria and elsewhere.
We believe that the best way for us to be impactful is by staying flexible, and it is essential that we have funds available to support those affected by conflict and disasters around the world. Donations to our general fund allow us to be able to respond to help people without shelter, wherever the need is greatest.
