Morocco Earthquake Appeal Raises Over $20,000

On the evening of Friday, September 8 evening, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco, with its epicentre in the High Atlas Mountain range, approximately 70 kilometres southwest of Marrakech. 

In response, we quickly released our Morocco Earthquake Appeal, where all donations would be channelled directly into the reconstruction efforts aimed at helping the High Atlas villages that had been profoundly affected. 

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to those who donated to our Morocco Fundraising Appeal, which raised over AU$20,000. World Expeditions kickstarted the initiative with a donation of AU$10,000, and thanks to our community we were thrilled that this amount doubled. 

As with all World Expeditions Foundation appeals, donations over $2 are tax deductible (in Australia only) and 100% of funds raised go directly to the cause we are supporting. We are truly humbled by your kindness and the impact we can collectively make. 

We want to reassure everyone that it is safe to travel to Morocco and they are ready to welcome tourists with open arms. Our experienced team on the ground have been closely monitoring the situation and is fully prepared to provide you with the exceptional travel experience you deserve. 

By travelling to the remote towns and villages in the Atlas Mountains, you will not only have the opportunity to experience the vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes firsthand but also contribute to the recovery efforts of the local communities.
