Welcome to the High Atlas Foundation

Friday, 23 September 2011 10:15

The over-arching purpose of the High Atlas Foundation is grassroots development in predominantly rural disadvantaged communities in Morocco. HAF was founded in 2000 by former Peace Corps Volunteers as a way to build upon the relationships and knowledge gained during their years of service for the continued benefit of the Moroccan people. HAF is a U.S. 501(c)(3) organization and a Moroccan association, and since 2011 has Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

HAF's Mission and Approach

Friday, 23 September 2011 10:30

HAF works to establish development projects in different parts of Morocco that local communities design and manage, and that are in partnership with government and non-government agencies. HAF uses a participatory development approach that includes beneficiaries as active partners in every step of the development process - from prioritizing development goals to project implementation and management to monitoring and evaluation.

1 Million Tree Campaign

The 1 Million Tree Campaign on average doubles rural families' incomes and combats severe levels of mountain erosion and desertification; 329,800 fruit trees and saplings have been planted in Morocco, benefiting approximately 2,500 rural families.
