Sustainable development
Marocavie Association
WHO ARE WE ?
In order to participate in the sustainable development of Morocco, OLVEA Morocco is supporting the charitable organisation Marocavie.
( www.marocavie.org )
Marocavie is completely independent of any political or religious affiliations and free of any commercial influence.
FINANCE :
OLVEA Morocco gives to Marocavie a percentage of its turnover for every kilo of oil sold. So every time you buy some OLVEA Morocco argan oil from OLVEA Vegetable Oils, you contribute to Marocavie.
MISSION :
Marocavie’s mission is to support projects that aim to:
• combat the spread of the desert and slow the rural exodus
• improve the education of the children
PROJECTS:

2) Essaouira region:
The Takafoul Association in the village Ait El Hamri, in a desert region with 5 elementary schools having 343 pupils (197 boys and 146 girls).
The first projects supported for these schools are:
• Electric connections : The village had electricity but the schools were not connected;
• Construction of sanitary facilities; without these, many teenagers girls are forced to leave the school system.
• Purchase of school furniture and computers
• Construction of surrounding walls
Objective: to improve and facilitate the education of the children.
3) Biougra Region
The first drops of water from the well at Biougra
The Izkritne Association in a village of 1300 inhabitants (108 households).
The village has a well 170 metres deep but with no pump to draw the water. Marocavie has supplied and installed a pump. The people of the village were then trained to operate and maintain the installation.
Objectives :
• to irrigate plots of agricultural land which were dry for the previous 5 years.
• to allow the local people to develop vegetable farming to meet their food needs.
• to provide the local people with a professional occupation and so limit the drift away from the land.
• to warn of the erosion caused by under-exploitation of the land.
• to combat the spread of the desert.
