Programa detallado

From Dust to Oasis: Reviving Life at Dar Toda” is an ecological and artistic volunteer program hosted at Dar Toda, a traditional guest house in the Zagora desert of Morocco.

Our goal is to create a sustainable green garden and artistic space in the desert — a living example of how community, creativity, and nature can thrive even in harsh environments.

Volunteers will help us build a small paradise using natural resources, upcycled materials, and permaculture techniques. The space will also become a cultural and educational garden for the local community, especially children and youth.

In return for your help, we offer a warm Moroccan welcome, shared accommodation, traditional meals, and the opportunity to live and work alongside locals in a unique cultural and desert environment.
