Mr. Thomas Anderson, chair of the board, has been a longtime supporter of the HAF and its participatory development mission since its very beginning, serving as a Co-Founder of the Foundation back in 2000.
New Projects in Boujdour
In the southern province of Boujdour, HAF created a local association and completed a participatory training and assessment. Stay tuned for more information.
HAF will plant its 1 millionth tree in January. Our fruit tree agriculture initiative improves the livelihood of rural Moroccans, while maintaining an eco-friendly approach to economic growth.

Celebrating Success
These projects tell the story of how Morocco and other nations of regions and the world can cost effectively overcome the serious challenges that we face; pervasive rural poverty, gender and youth marginalization, and land degradation.
