Our Travel Roots Animal Care Program in Morocco is an ideal opportunity for animal lovers who want to make a tangible difference in the lives of stray, abandoned, or injured animals. Across many regions of Morocco, street animals face challenges including malnutrition, untreated illness, neglect, and overpopulation. Local shelters and rescue centres work tirelessly to respond—but they need extra hands.
As a volunteer, you’ll help provide daily care and attention to animals that have been rescued, while supporting outreach efforts that promote kindness, sterilisation, and responsible pet ownership. You may work with dogs, cats, donkeys, or even horses—depending on your placement and the current needs of the centre.
Tasks are hands-on and rewarding. You’ll assist with feeding, cleaning, socialising, grooming, and sometimes even supporting minor treatments or veterinary checks. You'll also help maintain clean and enriching shelter environments to improve the animals’ health and adoptability.
This program is perfect for compassionate, hardworking volunteers who don’t mind getting a little messy in the name of love and care.

Feeding and grooming rescued animals
Cleaning shelters, kennels, and enclosures

Your Impact as a Volunteer
Volunteering on Our Travel Roots Animal Care Program in Morocco offers you the chance to make a direct, visible difference in the lives of animals that have been neglected, abandoned, or mistreated. In communities where resources for animal welfare are limited, your care helps close the gap between survival and recovery.
Every meal you prepare, every kennel you clean, and every affectionate moment you share helps build trust and wellbeing. Your efforts not only improve animals’ physical health but also support their emotional healing—making them more adoptable and giving them a second chance at life.
Beyond the shelter walls, your work supports broader change. Through local outreach and education, you’ll help shift attitudes around responsible pet ownership, spaying and neutering, and compassion for animals.
And as you give your time to those who cannot speak for themselves, you’ll also gain perspective, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for the role humans play in protecting the voiceless.

This community-driven initiative was created to connect passionate volunteers with local associations, daycares, and grassroots organisations across Morocco—in cities like Rabat, Salé, Casablanca, and Marrakech. It began as a way to support underfunded projects by matching them with individuals from around the world who want to make a difference while experiencing life in North Africa.
By working directly with local partners, this platform ensures that every volunteer placement is meaningful and well-supported. From early childhood centres to women’s empowerment initiatives, each collaboration focuses on real needs within the community and fosters long-term development through global exchange.
Mission & Vision
The mission is simple: to create authentic, impactful volunteer experiences that benefit both the local communities and the volunteers themselves. With a strong belief in cultural exchange and mutual learning, the platform offers flexible project options across various social and educational fields.
Volunteers are encouraged to immerse themselves in Moroccan life—whether through Arabic or French language classes, local excursions, or living with a host family—while making a tangible contribution to community wellbeing. The vision is a world where travel is more than sightseeing; it’s about connection, contribution, and shared growth.
