Morocco Earthquake Disaster
Morocco
Providing aid in the face of humanitarian catastrophe
In early September 2023, Morocco was hit by its deadliest earthquake in sixty years, mostly affecting the area surrounding Marrakesh. Since our foundation in 2014, we have always been very active in Morocco (our co-founder Hassan Mourhit heads up EnergyVision Morocco), so we closely monitored events as they unfolded.
All of our colleagues and their families were safe, while our installations, several of which were in the epicentre's vicinity, held up well.
Despite the initial shock, our Moroccan colleagues quickly pitched in to help in the affected areas, experiencing substantial damage and loss of electricity.
We prepared hundreds of packages with mini solar panels, batteries and other solar power devices, delivered on trucks to the affected communities to restore electricity. This was our contribution towards aid efforts for the survivors of this disaster.
We even received a letter from the Prime Minister of Morocco to personally thank us. However, for us, it was the least we could do...💚 ❤️
