The Experience

"Last year’s storm damaged our mud-brick guesthouse. Now, we’re rebuilding and invite you to help! Learn traditional Berber brick-making and construction. Our farm grows dates, grains, animal feed, and couscous crops, plus seasonal veggies with extra rain. With volunteer help, we’ve also started a composting experiment—rare here! Join us to revive the guesthouse and support sustainable traditions. 🌾🏡"

I had the best time in Tagounite! Karim was amazing. He did such a great job looking after all the volunteers, he is kind enthusiastic and hardworking. If anyone wanted anything, he would go the extra mile to make it happen. I am very grateful to have met him and the other volunteers. We all got along very well and had the best time together. I ended this trip with great memories and friends. I would recommend this to anyone thinking about coming to Morocco!

Karim's project is a true immersion in Moroccan culture! The main goal of the project consists in building a new house about 30 min walk from the main town, Tagounite. Mud bricks is the everyday work, and with the other volunteers (usually between 10+ people) the work turns into a easygoing and fun interaction. The meals are traditional and delicious. There's no wifi or electricity in the project facility, so we usually go once a day to town at the host's flat to charge phones and etc. This is an amazing volunteering that's gonna remind you how good a simple lifestyle can still be!

I really enjoyable to volunteer here with Karim also with many many friends from different cultures. Even though I stayed here only one week but what the love and experience bring me are longer than it. The heavy rain ruined houses I felt so sad . So they really need more people come there to build their houses.

Staying with Karim and Younes was more then just volunteering, it was finding our Moroccan family. It was a true pleasure to stay with them and the other volunteers who were also great. The place felt like home we could do whatever we wanted and Karim always made sure we felt at home. We also really got to experience real Moroccan culture, which was great. I would really recommend pleople to go there and also become a part of the family. Thankyou Monsieur tranquille and don't forget to relax max!

I had an amazing two weeks with Karin in Tagounite. The work is not too hard and the hours are easy with heaps of spare time to explore the local area and relax. The project is enjoyable and will be awesome to see once it is finished. The food provided was top tier and I never found myself hungry or in need of anything at all as Karim was always quick to help you if you needed anything at all. They are also very open to doing day trips into the sand dunes which was a great time. I won't forgot the many nights spent talking and sleeping under the starts. Relaxxx maxx
