Interview of Aymar Bourgy, Project Coordinator, GERES-Morocco

In Morocco, 45% of the population live in rural areas. Gas and electricity access is still today very limited. Wood remains the main source of energy, but its utilisation leads to an environmental deterioration and represents a painful task for women.

In Belotta, a village situated in the mountain chain called “Rif”, the GERES leads a project in partnership with local actors in order to improve populations living conditions by protecting forest natural resources.
Through energy equipments distribution, GERES-Morocco provides an economic and sustainable solution to populations until then in a situation of energy precariousness.
