Sustainable development
Marocavie Association
WHO ARE WE ?
In order to participate in the sustainable development of Morocco, the co-workers of Marogania have formed the association Marocavie.
Marocavie is completely independent of any political or religious affiliations and free of any commercial influence.
FINANCE :
Marocavie is financed substantially by Marogania, which pays a percentage of its turnover for every kilo of oil sold.
So every time you buy some Marogania argan oil from Olvea, you contribute to Marocavie.
Customers may also make a direct donation to Marocavie if they wish.
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:
The first two projects supported by Marocavie are :
1) 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.
2) Essaouira Region :
The school at Aït El Hamri
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:
• The village had electricity but the schools were not connected; Marocavie is to pay for this connection.
• At the start of the school year 2008, the purchase of academic and health reports for 80 new pupils, to ensure their monitoring throughout their education and ensure priority access to the free health centre services.
• The construction of 2 toilets; without these, many teenagers girls are forced to leave the school system.
• Purchase of school furniture.
Objective: to improve and facilitate the education of the children. .
