Volunteer with Children in Morocco

Special needs work in Morocco Volunteering Abroad on one of our Care projects in Morocco can be challenging, but will also prove to be incredibly rewarding. Volunteers help improve the quality of life for children in a variety of homes, centers for disadvantaged children and disabled centers where staff simply don't have time to provide the individual care and attention that the children require.

You can gain international work experience on a volunteer Care project in Morocco whatever your age, abilities or level of experience.Whether you are on a gap year - or even a gap month - from further education or are coming to us during a career break, we have a place for you to volunteer abroad in Morocco. All we ask is that you have enthusiasm for and a commitment to the work, staff team and, of course, the children!

It would be beneficial if volunteers on a Care Project in Morocco spoke some basic French in order to communicate directly with the children and local staff.

Volunteering with Disadvantaged and Special Needs Children


Work with children in Morocco

Our Care volunteers in Morocco are based in and around Rabat, an ancient but rapidly modernizing city. Most volunteers work in centers for people with special needs or in support centers for disadvantaged children. Some of the children will have lived on the streets or come from very poor homes and may have never attended school.

In whichever volunteer care project you find yourself, you need to be ready for a challenge. Many of the children will have health or behavioral problems or may require extra attention due to a range of disabilities.

By volunteering you have the opportunity to change these children’s lives. I know that sounds like a bold claim, and somewhat clichéd, but it is true. As a volunteer your role is many fold: not only do you have the opportunity to furnish these children with practical skills – English, math, people skills – that will help them later on in life, but simply your being there makes a big statement.

International Volunteer Work in Morocco with Children

Volunteer with disabled children in Morocco There is a great deal you can do to contribute to the general care and support of the children. The work depends a lot on the ages of the children you are working with. Volunteering may involve assisting with the day-to-day practical care of the children; ensuring they get up on time and preparing their meals as well as playing games, organizing activities and trips, and offering the children the vital one-to-one attention which they crave. You may even find yourself assisting with "zoo therapy" where disabled children have the chance to interact with and feed animals like rabbits and lambs. Or you may join a fun play scheme to teach the children circus skills!

The older children often require help with homework, support with developing social and life skills and you may also find yourself teaching some basic English lessons.

Volunteering abroad on a Care Project in Morocco makes a real difference to the organizations we work with. Your help not only stimulates the children but also alleviates the stress felt by the overstretched staff. It will certainly be an experience that those involved will never forget.This project is available for two weeks if you don't have time to join us for a month or more.
