About us

Association Together We Can is a volunteer association working in Morocco. We are a team of volunteers who believe that real change starts in the village, with the people who live there.

Our main focus is education and rural women. We help girls and young people stay in school, we help women learn skills and earn their own income, and we work with local cooperatives that produce olives and honey.

We also respond when disaster strikes. After the Marrakech earthquake in September 2023, our volunteers coordinated relief in the Al Haouz province. Later we built rainwater harvesting systems for remote villages that water trucks could not reach.

In many rural villages, distance, cost and old habits keep girls from finishing school, and women have few chances to earn money of their own. We work to change that, step by step, together with families and local leaders.

Our mission

To give rural girls and women the education, skills and confidence to build a better future in their own communities.

Our vision

A Moroccan countryside where every girl can learn, every woman can earn, and every village can stand strong in hard times.

Our values

Dignity for every person. Local leadership. Volunteering from the heart. Honesty about our work and our money.

What we do

Our main focus is education and rural women. We also support olive and honey cooperatives, and we respond when disaster strikes.

Education

Every child and young person in the countryside should be able to learn and stay in school.

  • Support for students and schools
  • School supplies and learning materials
  • Mentoring and guidance for young people
  • Volunteer teachers and trainers
  • Awareness activities with families

We work with schools, parents and young people, so that learning continues at home and in the community.

Rural women

When women have skills and income, whole villages grow stronger.

  • Training in skills women can earn from
  • Literacy and numeracy classes
  • Women-led cooperatives
  • Support to start small businesses
  • Safe spaces to meet, learn and share

Many of our activities are led by women from the villages themselves, so skills and confidence stay in the community.

Also

Olive and honey cooperatives

Olive trees and beehives are part of village life in Morocco. We work with farmers and local cooperatives, including olive and honey producers, so that families can earn a fair income from what they grow and make. Many of these cooperatives are run by women.

  • Support for olive cooperatives
  • Support for honey cooperatives and beekeepers
  • Training for farmers and cooperative members
  • Better access to markets for local products
  • Packaging, labelling and quality advice
Disaster relief and water

When the earthquake struck Al Haouz in September 2023, our volunteers organized a fast response on the ground. Afterwards we built rainwater harvesting systems for remote villages cut off from water trucks.

  • Volunteer teams organized and sent to the field
  • Water, shelter, aid and medicines delivered to families
  • Rainwater harvesting built with local focal points and technicians

How we work

We start with girls and women

Education and income for women and girls change families and whole communities.

We go where others can’t

We work in remote villages, where schools, training and help arrive last.

We work with local people

Local focal points, cooperatives and technicians guide each project, so it fits the village and lasts.

How a project works

Every project follows the same path, from the first conversation to a result that lasts.

Listen

We visit the village and ask families, women and young people what they need most.

Plan together

Local focal points and partners help us shape a plan that fits the village.

Start small

Volunteers and local people begin with a first class, workshop or building task.

Learn and adjust

We check what works, listen again, and improve the project.

Hand over

The community takes the lead, and we stay close as a partner.
