COVID-19 Action
AFEMAC has encountered numerous financial difficulties due to the ongoing health crisis. Because of state mandated lockdowns in France and Morocco, the organization's partners have only been able to maintain minimal operations, leaving AFEMAC to deal with the following consequences:
- Stay-at-home mandates for many of the association's employees, including the Morocco director
- Suspension of new and ongoing projects
- Unplanned expenditures due to lockdown in remote rural enclaves
- Suspension of plant sales from the organization's garden nurseries.
- High risk of garden disturbance due to inability to pay for regular monitoring
The help of the Artelia Foundation's Emergency Fund was thus used to help support the increase in the organization's operational costs during this imposed period of confinement.
