Activity Description: The Center for Development in the Tensift Region is an NGO that partners with local research and other groups to initiate and co-fund economically sustainable projects. These projects focus on the improvement of the environment, education and business skills.
Some of CDRT's projects in the past years include:
-educating potters to use gas-powered kilns around Marrakech rather than burn tires. CDRT helped co-finance 22 kilns, which both improved the quality of the pottery and reduced harmful CO2 emissions by 12,000 tons. (2002-3)
