Optional

As part of our dedication to responsible tourism, we’re thrilled to introduce our "Give Back" initiative, an integral aspect of our commitment to positively impact communities during your journey through Morocco. We proudly endorse the admirable efforts of Ennajah Association and Chabab Time, two non-profit organizations devoted to uplifting Moroccan society. Ennajah Association, headquartered in Zagora, focuses on sustainable development by addressing school dropout rates among girls through initiatives such as providing transportation and vital water resources to the community. Meanwhile, Chabab Time, with operations spanning across Morocco from Rabat, actively promotes youth involvement in public affairs. Moreover, we encourage our travelers to contribute to our giving efforts by donating items such as medications, clothes, or other essentials. Additionally, we may extend our support to a local Berber school by providing supplies and small toys, bringing joy and making a tangible impact on children’s lives. We believe in offering you the chance to make a meaningful difference, nurturing genuine connections, and ensuring your visit leaves a positive imprint. As you bid farewell, you’ll carry with you cherished mementos of your adventure – carpets, Argan oil, lanterns, and treasured memories – but more significantly, you’ll leave behind a lasting legacy of support and solidarity for the communities you’ve had the privilege to touch.
