Women’s Education
Education has no age limit. Many women in the Moroccan society did not get the chance to whether pursue their education or learn foreign languages due to lack of means or social obstacles while they did not lost interest and will in learning and developing their personal abilities.

- Volunteers get experience in women empowerment
- Volunteers learn more about the women’s position in Morocco

GEM Volunteer testimonial:
I had such an amazing time in Rabat! This program immersed me in the culture while also providing a meaningful experience through volunteering. I was a solo traveler, and I felt the staff was very accommodating and accessible. They even assisted me with basic Arabic language skills and transportation information, which was very helpful. It was a comfortable process all along the way. I highly recommend this group as a way to experience immersive travel while being able to contribute in a real and positive way to the local community.
