IMPACT
The Atlas Hope event supports Morocco's earthquake- affected communities in multiple ways:
▹
▹
▹
Each runners fundraise through our partner, The High Atlas Foundation, a globally- recognized & award-winning Moroccan association and US non-profit, where proceeds go directly to these communities in need.
The event provides paid work for the local communities from cooking, videography, to route planning and organisation, aid station support, construction of banners and starting gates,
International sponsors and funders use Atlas Hope as a vehicle to support Morocco, for example last year- one of our sponsors supplied warm coats to all the children in a mountain village ahead of the upcoming winter.
The event boosts international awareness of these communities and the need for long-term support
