Where to do a humanitarian trip in Morocco

Our humanitarian missions take place exclusively in Tangier, a city in northern Morocco. As a port city, it’s an ideal destination for a humanitarian trip in Morocco with developed infrastructure, easy transportation, and close proximity to Europe.

The medina of Tangier is constantly lively and will dazzle you with vibrant colors. Between traditional markets, authentic riads, mosques, gardens, and contemporary art galleries, every corner holds new discoveries. The local cuisine will delight your taste buds with must-try specialties: tajine, harira, or msemen for breakfast.

The city perfectly embodies Morocco’s cultural richness, harmoniously blending Arab-Islamic heritage with international influences. With its prime location, Tangier also serves as a perfect base to explore the region, including: the blue pearl of Chefchaouen, the artistic town of Asilah, the authentic Tétouan, or the beaches of the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.

What are the requirements for a humanitarian mission in Morocco?

Joining a project involves a few requirements, although they may vary depending on the type of programme. Generally speaking, you must be over 18 years old and have a basic or intermediate level in French or Arabic to facilitate communication in the field.

For administrative matters, you’ll need a valid passport and must purchase travel insurance covering medical care and repatriation if necessary. To do so, consult your doctor or the Pasteur Institute to check all conditions before your departure.

Tips before doing a humanitarian trip in Morocco

Learn a few essential Arabic words or brush up on your French. Simple expressions will ease your daily interactions and show respect for the local culture.

It will also be useful to learn about Moroccan traditions and dress codes to help with your integration and avoid cultural misunderstandings. Tangier is a safe city for international volunteers. Nevertheless, as in any city, it’s important to take certain precautions and remain vigilant. For example, wear clothing that respects local customs, especially in public and religious places.

Finally, to join a humanitarian mission in Morocco, you’ll need to be open-minded and sociable, ready to discover and respect new cultures, and above all, genuinely motivated to contribute to meaningful projects!
