Hello there, sweet people! My name is Redouane. I come from a nomadic family and have spent my life in the desert, moving from place to place until we settled at the edge of the desert in Erfoud. Welcome to Casa Redouane, your home in the Sahara Desert! Here, you will not only find a place to stay but also an experience full of love, learning, and connection. As a volunteer, you will become part of our family, sharing unique moments and helping to create a warm and welcoming community. Travel through Morocco, meet nomads, work alongside us, and, of course, sleep under the starry desert sky. At Casa Redouane, every day is a new adventure full of magic, friendship, and discovery. I will also help you reach the hostel easily, and we will stay in touch until your arrival. We are waiting for you with open arms to share this unique volunteer experience!
Volunteering with nomadic families in Morocco offers a unique cultural and personal experience. Participants live and work alongside Amazigh nomads from the Ait Atta tribes, learning about their traditions, daily life, and deep connection with nature while contributing positively to their community. The nomads spend winter months in the Jbel Saghro mountains in southeast Morocco and migrate during summer to the High Atlas Mountains, particularly the Ait Bouguemez Valley. Volunteers follow this seasonal movement and experience life in remote mountain landscapes. Daily life with the nomads centers around caring for animals such as goats, camels, donkeys, and chickens. Volunteers may help with grazing, feeding, watering, and milking animals, preparing food, collecting firewood, and carrying water. In the dry Jbel Saghro region, water is especially valuable, teaching the importance of sustainability and simple living. Living with a nomad family also allows volunteers to experience breathtaking sunsets, starry nights, and the beauty of the Atlas Mountains. It is an opportunity to disconnect from modern routines and appreciate nature and community life. Another important part of the project is teaching English, French, or Spanish to nomad children. Many families value education, and volunteers can support children’s learning while building strong relationships with the community. No previous experience is required, as guidance and support are provided throughout the program. This experience is ideal for people interested in cultural exchange, nature, and meaningful community engagement. While the nomadic lifestyle can be challenging, it can also be deeply inspiring and life-changing.
