A experiência

We are transforming an old rural house in the peaceful village of Ait Imour, just outside Marrakech, into a space for eco-living, creativity, and community. Our vision is to create a sustainable garden and green oasis where locals and travelers can share knowledge, reconnect with nature, and enjoy simple rural life.

If you are passionate about gardening, eco-building, sustainability, or cultural exchange, this is a great opportunity for you!

📜 House Rules & Cultural Guidelines

To make the experience positive for both volunteers and the local community, we kindly ask you to respect the following rules:

👕 Dress Code (Very Important)

Our village is conservative, so we expect volunteers to dress modestly:

✅ Shoulders and knees should be covered (for both men and women).

✅ No visible tattoos (please cover them with clothing or bandages when possible).

✅ No transparent, tight, or revealing clothes.

✅ No short shorts, mini skirts, or low-cut tops.

✅ No crop tops — the belly should always be covered.

✅ Please wear simple, comfortable, and respectful clothing suitable for garden work.

🏡 General Rules

Respect the local culture, traditions, and neighbors.

No alcohol or drugs inside the house or village.

Keep common spaces clean and tidy.

Be open to cultural exchange, teamwork, and community life.

Respect prayer times and village quiet hours (especially at night).

🤝 Spirit of the Project

We welcome volunteers with an open mind, willingness to learn, and respect for Moroccan culture. The project is not only about gardening but also about sharing experiences and building connections.
