DESTINATION: Morocco

Atlas Mountains & Desert Adventures

12 days, 12 nights - January 25- February 5, 2027
Limited to 10 people

The Kindness:

At the heart of this journey is our partnership with People and Places to arrange a volunteer experience to support Education for All (EFA)—a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving access to education for girls in rural Morocco.

In many Atlas Mountain communities, girls face significant barriers to continuing their education due to distance, safety, and limited resources. Education for All works to change this by providing safe, supportive boarding houses close to schools, ensuring girls have the opportunity to stay in school and pursue their dreams.

During our time together, we’ll connect with girls from the local collège in Ouirgane and surrounding communities.

Over five full days, we divide into small groups, each supported by 2–3 Kindness Adventures leaders (that is us). Together, we rotate through a series of creative and interactive workshops:

  • Photography – storytelling through a new lens

  • Cooking – sharing culture through food

  • Yoga & Wellness – building confidence and connection to self

  • Art & Creativity – expression, imagination, and joy

This is not about teaching—it’s about sharing, listening, and growing together. The experience is fluid, evolving based on the energy and ideas of both the women and the girls.

Through connection, mentorship, and creativity, we aim to:

  • Build confidence and self-expression

  • Foster cross-cultural understanding

  • Support the incredible work already being done by People and Places and Education for All

The Adventure:

This is not just a trip—it’s a journey of connection, contribution, and discovery.

In the heart of the Atlas Mountains, we'll spend meaningful time with young girls through our partnership with Education for All, sharing stories, creativity, and life experiences. Together, we'll co-create workshops, build confidence, and form bonds that transcend culture and language.

Then everything shifts.

We leave behind the mountains and the rhythm of village life and head toward the vast, open expanse of the Sahara. The landscape slowly changes—green valleys fade into ochre earth, then into endless sand.

Here, we begin our camel trek into the desert.

Walking alongside the camels—sometimes riding, sometimes barefoot in the sand—you move deeper into the dunes. There are no roads, no towns, no distractions. Just our group, the guides, the camels… and silence.

We’ll spend two nights in a traditional desert bivouac, surrounded by rolling dunes that stretch as far as you can see. At sunset, you climb the highest ridge and watch the light soften across the sand. At night, the sky explodes with stars—clear, vast, and humbling.

This is where something shifts internally.
Space opens. Perspective changes.

From connection… to contribution… to stillness.

This is the essence of Kindness Adventures:
Give back. Step outside your comfort zone. Come home renewed and forever changed

Education for All

Education for All (EFA) is a charity that builds and runs boarding houses near secondary schools in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, allowing girls from rural villages to continue their education. Due to distance and lack of resources, most girls from these communities do not attend secondary school. EFA's boarding houses provide a safe environment for education, helping many girls escape cycles of poverty and illiteracy. Many graduates have gone on to pursue university degrees and become role models for other young women.

In September 2023, a devastating earthquake struck the High Atlas region, severely damaging Asni, where four EFA boarding houses are located, and completely destroying Talaat n’Yakoub, home to two more. As a result, EFA relocated schools and boarding facilities to Marrakech, renting temporary housing to continue supporting the girls.
