We are a small Berber house built using traditional materials & methods "pisé" like the rest the houses in the Berber village: this is ideal for keeping heat during the winter & it cooler in the summer as well as conserving the landscape it also saves energy.
We used local builders & craftsmen. We employ local people to run the house and local guides and muleteers to take our guests for walks. In this way we are providing jobs to the community & help keeping these people close to their families rather than having to leave the village & move to Marrakech to look for a job there (in most cases they end up living in the slumps in outskirts of the city).
We supported & sponsored the Tassaouirgane association in introducing water meters to all houses in the village, repairing all the old pipes & saving heaps of water.
A 3% of our taking is handed to the village association to help set up a rubbish clearance system, we provided the bins & we are working with the local school to educate the children in the village not drop lolly papers & are also working with the local mosque to encourage the adults to look after their environment.
We offer a carbon offsetting scheme where guests can plant a tree or donate fruit trees to local families. We use solar power for heating the water & we encourage guests to save energy by only washing dirty towels & sheets. All organic waste is fed to the animals. We are a platform where cultural exchange between the Berbers & the guests are encouraged.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
