About Travelteer
Travelteer brings an innovative concept that is at the forefront of responsible travel and ethical volunteering, understanding the importance of utilising volunteers’ skill-sets to provide support for programmes and using a unique model offering volunteers access to programmes with 100% of the money fundraised going directly to the cause. Not only does Travelteer offer life changing volunteering, but the opportunity to explore and travel!
Travelteer offers an ethical, affordable, transparent service that offers high-impact volunteering with the opportunity to go on an adventure! Partnered with government authorities and NGOs in placement destinations to create programmes that operate at a local level whilst having an impact nationally. Programmes are designed to fully engage volunteers and ensure their skills are utilised to maximise benefits for both the volunteer and the projects.
Travelteer's outreach programme takes volunteers 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.
About Morocco
'Morocco is located in the northwest corner of Africa and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean on one edge and the Western Sahara on the other.
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.'
Climate
Morocco has a Mediterranean climate on the northern coast, mild and semi-arid on the Atlantic coast, and desert in the inland areas. In the mountains, on the other hand, the climate is gradually more continental and colder as the altitude increases.
Average temperatures range from 26ºC in July to 8ºC in January.

The Gite has living areas and a chillout balcony, so that students can easily socialise and make yourself at home.
On weekends volunteers can organise visits to Marrakech, trek through the Atlas Mountains, use the village swimming pool and more.
