CASABLANCA, Morocco–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Western Union today announced that consumers can now use its international money transfer services to send donations directly to the Government of Morocco’s special fund in support of victims and relief efforts.

Consumers around the world can now donate directly into this fund using Western Union’s money transfer services, to support the victims of the earthquake as well as ongoing relief efforts. Details of the special fund account can be accessed here1.
