Water well for Moroccan families
[UPDATE end September 2023]
The earthquake of September 8 in the Marrakech region had serious consequences for construction projects. Although access to drinking water is even worse now given the movement of groundwater, it is impossible to consider drilling or even building houses.
Seed stands even more with the people impacted and is closely monitoring the project in order to start work as soon as the exact location is authorized and confirmed.
Indeed, in the douars far from the cities, the villagers need wells to get drinking water. The current small drilling sites powered with hand pumps are not enough especially in a context of water scarcity. Families are severely impacted both for their basic needs and hygiene.
This project aims at drilling a well and using solar energy which is largely available here. The water will then be pumped into a reservoir and supplied through water pipes to the people.
This project will cover three steps:
– drilling and construction work related to the well
– water connection
– installation of solar panels
Total budget: 13 500 €
Raised thanks to French popular streamer Aminematue who took the initiative to plan a charity auction on Oct. 6: 8 197 €

The achievement in image
🚧 We started the construction of the well Nov. 6th in the Douar of Tighramat Ait Iktel, Al Haouz province, Marrakech region. They dug to a depth of 140 metres. Next steps: construction of the basin, sizing and selection of equipment, installation of a submersible pump, installation of solar panels, connection of the water network to the douar via a pipe, and finally, construction and fitting out of a fountain. 💧 Once completed, 80 families will have access to drinking water! (Reminder: the region was hit by an earthquake in September, so we had to make sure that everything was checked before being authorized to launch the work)
