GMH Partnership

The volunteer scheme is overseen by our in-country partner, Groupe Maroc Horizons (GMH), a not-for-profit educational organization that works with around 400 children in the Taroudannt area. A member of the GMH committee will be responsible for your work placement. Your host family might be a member of the GMH committee, or a friend of the committee, but either way they will certainly be friendly and welcoming.

Benefits to Volunteers

By participating in our volunteer projects, you will benefit from:

Lodging in a host family, offering a unique insight into the lives of Moroccans and their culture, and a base from which to integrate into the community;
A full, taught induction course covering the Arabic language, Moroccan culture and history, and bespoke preparation for the role you will carry out;

In-depth pre-trip and in-country support, delivered by the Moroccan Children’s Trust and Groupe Maroc Horizons;
A varied programme of work placements across different institutions – including orphanages, schools, youth clubs or development research activity;
A number of guided excursions around Morocco, including a final long trip at the end of the project to destinations such as the mighty Atlas Mountains or the great Sahara desert.
