The Global Diversity Foundation (GDF) has worked with some of the most vulnerable communities in the High Atlas for more than a decade to protect nature and foster sustainable agriculture. When the earthquake struck, this NGO was among the first responders to reach their marginalised remote villages with urgently-needed aid. Now, as temperatures drop and seasonal rains begin to fall, GDF’s focus has shifted to providing services and supplies that will enable community members to survive the winter. It is supporting around 1,000 farming families in 40 villages with agricultural seeds for the autumn planting season, together with feed for their livestock and food staples such as flour, oil and baby formula.
