ASSOCIATION   COMPANIONS   FOR
INTERNATIONAL   VOLUNTEERING
(MOROCCO).

A non-profit association for : Volunteering in Morocco, Voluntary work, Humanitarian
projects, International workcamps, Solidarity tourism and Cultural trips in Morocco.

ENVIRONMENT-RELATED ACTIVITIES

  One of the issues that has captured the attention of the association is environmental degradation and climate change.
 These risks and changes, which are increasing day by day, have led the association to adopt a development approach that mitigates these risks according to its capabilities. The association has consistently organized a variety of international and local activities related to the environment, both in urban areas and in forests and national parks. The aim is to create green spaces and expand them,combat desertification,and reduce soil erosion.
  This is achieved through planting trees and restoring forest paths,as well as by organizing international camps for children to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the environment.
 The association's doors are open to volunteers, whether individuals, groups, or institutions, to help achieve the association’s environmental goals.
  Our slogan is:"The safety of generations depends on the preservation of environmental safety."

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL  PROJECTS

IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH KIDS

TASSOMAAIT PUBLIC SCHOOL

 As part of the partnership between Association Companions for International Volunteering and Tassomaait Public School, members of the association and international volunteers organize activities throughout the year for the benefit of the institution and its students. The association has established an environmental club at this school to provide children with both theoretical and practical guidance in environmental matters, in addition to creating green spaces within the institution.

AL KHANSSAA PUBLIC SCHOOL

 One of the schools that benefit from our theoretical and practical environmental activities is Al Khansaa School. These activities include conducting environmental experiments that help students gain a deeper understanding of the requirements of plant life on earth and conducting plant planting workshops in the school's space. In this context, the association opens its doors to welcome volunteers in plant sciences or others to lead workshops for the students of this institution.

ASSMA PUBLIC SCHOOL

 Asmaa Public School in the city of Ouarzazate and its students benefit from the association's international environmental projects.
  The association organizes camps and workshops throughout the year, especially during school vacations. Through these workshops, students learn the fundamental principles of environmental conservation, such as planting and caring for plants in the school garden located in the institution's courtyard.
  Additionally, they prepare reports and research on environmental risks, print them, and distribute them to raise awareness among their classmates about the importance of preserving the environment.

VOLUNTEERING  OPPORTENITY

IN SUBURBAN FOREST AND NATIONAL PARKS WITH OUR PARTNERS

ANATIM SUBURBAN FOREST

 The forests on the outskirts of cities hold great importance, serving as a recreational outlet for residents and acting as the lungs of the urban environment. In the city of Ouarzazate, its forest functions as a green belt that moderates the city’s climate and acts as a barrier against the winds that occasionally affect the area. Additionally, it helps stabilize the soil, which suffers from significant erosion around the city’s edges.
  In this context, the association, in partnership with local institutions, has worked to care for this forest by planting trees and regularly maintaining its facilities and pathways throughout the year.

TAGHRAMT SUBURBAN FOREST

 Taghremt is a forest located on the outskirts of Ouarzazate and includes a nursery for producing various trees to benefit other forests in the region. This nursery is managed by the National Agency for Water and Forests in Ouarzazate, with which we have a partnership aimed at caring for the Taghremt forest and maintaining the nursery, including watering the plants, pruning them, packaging them in bags, and regularly checking the signs that emphasize the importance of preserving the forest facilities.
  Since the forest is a popular destination for residents on weekends, the association is committed to educating visitors about the forest's role in relation to the city and its inhabitants, in addition to offering activities for children in the park.

OUAD ERRABAT SUBURBAN FOREST

 In the northwest of the city of Ouarzazate lies a newly established forest, located about 10 kilometers from the city center.
 The forest requires care for its trees, including watering, replacing dead trees, and planting more in the empty spaces of the park.
  the association companions for international volunteering has a partnership with the Ouarzazate Regional Council, which is responsible for overseeing the project. Our role as a civil society organization is to recruit volunteers to help develop this park and provide the necessary tools for that purpose.
  The project is in urgent need of volunteers every month, except for July and August, with an average of 15 volunteers for each volunteer camp. Their role will primarily involve planting and caring for the trees during the volunteering period.
  The door to volunteering is open to anyone interested.
