Recently, we traveled to the earthquake-affected region near Marrakech, delivering urgently needed aid with my agent. We drove two vans filled with essentials like food, blankets, medical supplies, soap, and cooking oil, covering over 300 km to reach devastated villages near the Atlas Mountains. Despite reports of aid, we found little support on the ground—families were sheltering in makeshift tents, often at risk of collapse, with no visible presence from large NGOs.

One young boy, who helped distribute supplies, suffered from severe eczema, and we secured him medication that cost $200. Many families showed us prescriptions they couldn’t afford to fill. We provided supplies to about 700 people on this trip and plan to continue as the need grows.

Corruption makes delivering aid challenging. We’ve had to work discreetly and register our organization with the government to avoid interference. Too often, funds raised never reach those in need, so instead, we bring direct supplies. Since 1980, my society has been focused on delivering real help to disaster-hit regions worldwide.
