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. 🌾🏡"

Both Youness and Karim are wonderful people. As soon as you arrive, you will feel truly welcomed. The village itself is a charming place, you can easily feel and see everyday's life of Tagounite people. The job itself is not hard as it might look, moreover it's fun and interesting. During the day, me and other volunteers spent time playing cards, talking and cooking meals together. We had a great time during our trips to swimming pool or to watch the sunset on the dunes as well. I made great friends here and I hope those memories will stay with me for live. Once again, thank you for all 🫶

Spending time in Tagounite was truly unique experience. I had a chance to help Karim and Younnes with renovating a traditional house that had been damaged by past floods. Despite the hot weather working side by side with them was incredibly rewarding. Karim and Younnes welcomed me like a family - generous, kind and always smiling. They showed me the true meaning of Moroccan hospitality. We shared meals, tea stories and laughter. Even though the work was simple, it felt meaningful because i could see the impact it had on their home and community. The village it self is peaceful and charming.

Karim and Yonas are the best people ever. They make you feel at home the very first second you step into their place. They always have several volunteers at the time (as they deserve) so you will be able to meet many people from around the world and make great friends. Karim never lets you miss anything and provide everything you need, he's ready to help with any necessity. The work is easy and relaxed. I strongly recommend this host over the other ones in the area, it's the best one. Thank you for everything guys! ❤️

Youness and Abdul are extremely kind and welcoming. I was made to feel like family from the very beginning. They both ensured I had the best experience possible. If I mentioned something I was interested in doing or seeing, they immediately went to work to provide that for me. I will treasure the nights spent playing cards after a delicious tajine, the motorbike rides to the dunes or garden, and playing in the mud (building bricks). I have never felt more connected to Morocco than on this project with these lovely hosts! In the infamous words of Abdul, "Max relax. Goooood experience" <3

It's hard to find words to describe this fantastic experience! I spent a really great time with Youness and his cousin Karim and I enjoyed every single part of the whole volunteering experience. The work is pretty easy, the shifts are perfectly respected and the rest of the time is just relaxing and sharing beautiful moments, in Berber style :) This experience has been life changing for me and I will keep the memories with me for a long time. I recommend this experience to anyone!!
