The Experience

We are looking for RESPONSIBLE people who are willing to commit their time and energy to help us take care of the ill and vulnerable animals we have rescued from the streets of Morocco. The work is very light and easy-going but we need people who will always be there in case of an emergency. If you would like a day off, we could easily plan a day or two a week for that and we could even show you around some of our favorite places.

I had an absolutely incredible time volunteering with Henry and Halima over the last month! The work isn't too demanding and is largely self directed. I am so grateful for my time here and would recommend volunteering with them to anyone. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Morocco!

This was my first Worldpackers experience. The tasks are chill, but there's always something to do. I closely looked after a kitten for nearly 3 weeks and it was a wonderful experience and will miss little Luna dearly. Communication with Henry & Halima was always reassuring and they have contacts with most people. You are fed well (almost too well) and be sure to spend time downstairs as much as you can, as you can play many games with other volunteers. Thank you H&H!

I had an incredible time at the organizationthanks to Halima, Henry and allthe organization the beautiful animals. Their pursuit to help and save the street animalsthe organization Essaouira is inspiring, and their ability to bring together people from all over the world to learn, connect and share beautiful experiences is truly admirable. I learnt so much through my experience atthe organization - from Halima and Henry, the other volunteers andthe organization course the wonderful animals. If you love animals, and want to learn about different cultures, languages and foods - I highly recommendthe organization. I look forward to returning again.
