Atlas Outreach Programme

Morocco is located in the northwest corner of Africa. The country is home to an amazing range of landscapes including desert, mountains, and beautiful coastline. It is distinguished by its Berber, Arabian and European influences, blending together to make a culture that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Our outreach programme takes our volunteer’s to a remote community in the Atlas mountains providing support with education, infrastructure, agriculture and women empowerment.

This project fully immerses volunteers within the Moroccan culture, living and volunteering in an amazing African community.
