These projects focus on the improvement of the environment, education and business skills. <br / /> Some of CDRT's projects in the past years include: <br> -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.
