Our Travel Roots Medicine and Healthcare Program in Morocco gives aspiring medical professionals and compassionate volunteers the chance to gain insight into the healthcare challenges and successes of a developing healthcare system. Working alongside doctors, nurses, and support staff, you'll support daily operations while learning about medical practices in a local Moroccan context.
Depending on your experience and placement, your role may range from observing patient consultations and assisting with administrative tasks to supporting community health awareness campaigns or basic care services.

This program is particularly well-suited for medical students, pre-med applicants, nursing trainees, and public health volunteers looking for observational experience and cultural exposure. You will not perform medical procedures but will be encouraged to engage meaningfully within your scope of ability and training.

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.

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.

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.

You’ll find Islamic, Berber, Arab, and French influences woven into every part of life—from the food and fashion to the music and architecture. Wander through maze-like souks, sip mint tea in a quiet riad, or take in the call to prayer echoing through a centuries-old medina. Life here moves at its own rhythm.
The climate is typically warm and dry, with cooler temperatures in coastal cities and during winter months. It’s the perfect setting for both exploration and reflection—where each day offers something new to see, taste, and learn.
