Kasbah Bouchaara hasn't added a story.
🌴VISION AND GOALS
Mohamed and Hamza's vision is to make the farm and the Kasbah a “gathering place” for meaningful interactions. The project is about creating connectedness and blurring the boundaries – with both locals and guests. " For us, simplicity is our ultimate luxury, the simple life, the desert life.".
🌴DESCRIPTION OF THEIR PROJECT
Located 7kms away from Tagounite city center in the desert of
Morocco, the Kasbah Bouchaara hosts palm trees 🌴, orange trees🍊,
corn🌽, but also green peas and pomegranates.
The Kasbah is typically Berber in its architecture. Mohamed's
goal is to make guest houses by renovating the Kasbah with authentic
Berber construction skills and furniture.
Ultimately, they want to welcome guests into the farm for leisure but also to create a community centered around culture sharing and organic agricultural projects where we can all participate to grow vegetables and fruits.

🌴DETAILED INFORMATION
They are currently welcoming volunteers to help them with their
projects (including me!!), and we are working on referencing the
Kasbah on google and give them more visibility.
Below you can
find useful links that will provide you with more context, pictures of
their home, farm and the desert so that you can get a deeper
understanding of their overall project, and hopefully see not only the
great potential of the project but most importantly feel that sharing
is at the center of it.

🌴WHY THIS CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN?
To achieve their goal, they first need a way to get there fast and to transport material to and from it. They currently can only go there by foot or with a tuktuk which costs 20 Dirhams each way.
They would like to buy a motorbike, which is the most common way to commute in Tagounite, Morocco, but don't have the funding as they don't have any source of revenue at the moment.
- A motorbike costs between 500 and 800 euros roughly and it would allow them to transport volunteers who come to work with them get there easily. It will also allow them to transport material from Tagounite to the farm and also get their harvest back to the city.
If their project resonates with you, don't hesitate to donate, even if it's 5 euros. Every euro makes a difference.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have as we want to be as transparent as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read about their story 🙏
