The Bhalwani Family Charitable Foundation has partnered with Canadian charity GlobalMedic to provide critical support in the aftermath of the earthquake. This partnership focuses on delivering essential aid and resources to the affected populations.
In response to the disaster, GlobalMedic has implemented several key initiatives:
Water Filtration: GlobalMedic installed AR3s water filtration devices at central locations, such as feeding centres and health clinics, to provide clean drinking water for over 2,000 people daily.
Education: GlobalMedic supplied a large Alaska tent that’s been converted into a classroom in Ouchfilene so that school may continue for students and teachers affected by the earthquake.
Shelter: The organization has distributed 1,221 tents to date for individuals and families who lost their homes.
Food Aid: GlobalMedic delivered food supplies, including staple items and fresh produce, to support the nutritional needs of the affected communities.
Solar Lights: To address the lack of power, solar lights were provided to ensure families have lighting at night, facilitating activities and enabling children to study.
The partnership between the Bhalwani Family Charitable Foundation and GlobalMedic illustrates a committed and strategic approach to disaster relief. By focusing on essential needs like clean water, shelter, food, and education, the organizations are making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by the Morocco earthquake. The efforts demonstrate a commitment to operational efficiency and the importance of targeted aid in disaster response scenarios.
