Our project is located in Tagounite, a small oasis town in Morocco's Drâa Valley, on the edge of the Sahara Desert. We combine traditional palm-grove agriculture with mud-brick construction techniques passed down through generations. Volunteers live alongside our family/community, sharing meals, stories, and daily life in a real Saharan oasis — far from mass tourism. It's an opportunity to learn practical skills, contribute to a living heritage.

We're looking for volunteers to help with our oasis farming and traditional construction project in Tagounite, in the Drâa Valley near the Sahara Desert. Volunteers will assist with:
Oasis agriculture: irrigation, palm and fruit tree care, harvesting
Traditional construction: earthen/mud-brick building techniques, basic maintenance
Cultural exchange: learning and sharing Moroccan Berber and Saharan traditions, cooking, language
No prior experience needed — just a willingness to learn, work with your hands, and immerse yourself in desert oasis life. This is a great fit for volunteers interested in sustainable agriculture, traditional architecture, or simply experiencing authentic rural Morocco away from tourist crowds.
Volunteers typically work 4-5 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, with flexible shifts depending on the season and tasks. Daily activities may include farm work (planting, watering, harvesting), construction and basic building tasks, painting walls and furniture, and decorating common areas. Afternoons and rest days are free for volunteers to explore the town, relax, or join cultural activities.
We expect volunteers to respect the people they interact with, both inside and outside the project, as well as local customs and culture. A strong work ethic and a positive, team-oriented attitude are essential to making this experience successful for everyone.
