FOOD SECURITY
Recent drought has forced many nomadic families to abandon their traditional lifestyle and settle in areas with access to a source of water. Small crop yield, habitat loss, climate change and global economic factors threaten the life and livelihood of nomadic families.
Amazigh Project supports the most vulnerable families by delivering life saving food into remote desert settlements.
$600 will feed one family for a year
$50 per month will feed a family of six

GOATS & CAMELS FOR FAMILIES
Many nomadic families have lost their entire herds of livestock due to recent severe desert droughts. Most families have 4 to 6 small children for whom milk is a main food source, making livestock essential for survival.
Amazigh Project supports nomadic families by providing goats and camels as sustainable sources of milk. As the animals breed, milk becomes available daily and the herd naturally multiplies.
$100 provides one goat
$1,000 provides a camel

CARPET WEAVING
With livestock dwindling due to habitat loss and climate change, nomadic families are beginning to reside in small settlements near to sources of water. Left with very little livestock to sustain nutritional needs, it is increasingly becoming necessary for families to earn income to purchase food. Providing carpet yarn to mothers is a sustainable way to support economic freedom and food security through traditional cultural activities.
$100 provides yarn and supplies to one family
$500 provides a carpet loom for one family
