Activities and Achievements
In 2020, Zakat Foundation™ Morocco continued to work towards its mission of providing humanitarian aid and relief to the most vulnerable members of society. The organization's activities included the distribution of food aid, the provision of medical care and medication, and the sponsorship of orphaned children. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization was able to reach out to over 200,000 people across the country.
One of the key achievements of Zakat Foundation™ Morocco in 2020 was the establishment of a field hospital in the city of Casablanca. The hospital was set up in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and provided medical care to patients who were unable to access healthcare facilities due to the overwhelmed public health system. The field hospital treated over 4,000 patients, including those who required critical care.
The organization also continued its sponsorship program, which provides financial support to orphaned children. In 2020, Zakat Foundation™ Morocco supported over 5,000 children, providing them with education, healthcare, and other essential needs.
Another significant achievement of Zakat Foundation™ Morocco in 2020 was the launch of a new project aimed at providing safe drinking water to communities in rural areas. The project involved the installation of water wells and water pumps in areas where access to clean water was a major challenge. The organization was able to install 50 water wells and pumps, providing safe drinking water to over 10,000 people.
Challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic posed a significant challenge to Zakat Foundation™ Morocco in 2020. The pandemic disrupted the organization's operations and affected its ability to reach out to vulnerable communities. The lockdowns and travel restrictions made it difficult for the organization to distribute aid and provide medical care to those in need. However, the organization was able to overcome these challenges by adapting its operations and implementing new measures to ensure the safety of its staff and beneficiaries.
Another challenge that Zakat Foundation™ Morocco faced in 2020 was the limited availability of resources. The pandemic had a significant impact on the economy, and many businesses and individuals were struggling financially. This made it difficult for the organization to raise funds and carry out its activities. However, Zakat Foundation™ Morocco was able to secure funding from donors and partners, enabling it to continue its operations and support vulnerable communities.
