Program Details

This is a small family farm in the southern Moroccan desert 🌍.
Our goal is to preserve Oasis traditions, develop sustainable farming practices, and build eco-houses using natural materials such as mud, palm wood, and stone 🧱.

Volunteers live and work alongside locals, share meals, and take part in a genuine cultural exchange whilst caring for the land around them.

We welcome travelers with open minds, kind hearts, and a desire to learn the rhythm of desert life 🐪.

It is very easy to get here on public transport, and we can collect you from the bus stop.
