Mission: Morocco Earthquake Relief Effort 2023

Mission Goal: Mosque Reconstruction

Location: Tamasit Village, Asni City, Al Haouz Province, Marrakesh-Safi region, Morocco

Mosque Construction: Rebuild stucture, interior and exterior

In partnership with a local non-profit, UMAACO has successfully restored a village mosque that had been damaged both structurally and aesthetically by an earthquake. UMAACO’s work included the reconstruction of walls and columns, repairs to interior and exterior staircases, and  painting, wall plaster, tiles, flooring, light fixtures, and the speaker system, among other enhancements. Board members of UMAACO, along with other community members, visited the site to supervise the project, engage with village elders, and participate in the mosque’s inaugural prayer.

Acknowledgment: The United Moroccan American Association of Cleveland Ohio (UMAACO) extends its heartfelt gratitude to all who supported our recent relief efforts. We deeply appreciate the generous contributions from UMAACO members, Cleveland residents, and everyone who donated through our GoFundMe campaign. A special thank you goes to our local mosques, including the Islamic Center of Cleveland (ICC), Al Omary Mosque, the Chagrin Valley Islamic Center (CVIC), the Uqbah Mosque Foundation, the Ummah Center, and the Islamic Society of Akron and Kent (SAK). Your support has been instrumental in helping those in need during this critical time. 

UMAACO extends its gratitude to several family members from Tangier, Morocco, for their generous contributions to this project.
