Our Story
At the twilight of the last millennium, a group of enthusiasts began to dream of a place where disabled adults from all over Morocco could learn a profession that would give them dignity and self-confidence.
This job would also allow them to set up a small business at the end of their training in order to generate a small income. Who does not aspire to a bit of autonomy?
Everything started to come together in August 1999, when a suitable plot of land was found in the outskirts of Ouarzazate. In just under twenty years, the dream has come true for several hundred disabled adults. And this is only the beginning...
Apprenticeships
Four options
Disabled adults who arrive at the training centers are offered four different apprenticeships, in agriculture, jewelry, sewing or carpentry. At the end of a selection process based on wishes and disability, this in discussion with professionals, the apprentice commits to the assigned sector. The complete training lasts two years.
