Towards Equality: In Morocco, a training program in management and marketing of solar ovens and cookers is helping women in rural areas to create their own cooperatives, with the aim of contributing to inclusive and climate-resilient development in the regions and promoting gender equality.

Building a more sustainable world alongside women while enabling them to improve their income and living conditions. That is the goal of the Faredeic project (For its acronym in French, which means Argan and Rural Women Engaged for Inclusive Economic Development and Climate). It was created in Morocco, one of the African countries most threatened by climate change, which suffers an increased pressure on natural resources, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
