Pitched by Kaoutar Jamai Bouazzaoui and her counterpart Mohamed Ait Boumouguaine, this project responds to the loss of the village’s only olive press in the earthquake. It was chosen as the most urgent initiative after community discussions. The direct beneficiaries are 15 farmers and 10 youth who will gain job opportunities. Indirectly, all 77 residents and many others in the neighboring villages will benefit from reduced transportation costs and improved income. A newly forming women’s food cooperative (20 women) will also benefit from a discounted oil price, boosting their income and market participation.
