Atlas Mountains accommodation nr Imlil, Morocco

This Kasbah was built by local workers. Apart from the owner, the staff is from the local village. All of our supplies (food, interiors etc) are bought from the local village. Local mules can be hired. Medicine and clothes are collected and distributed to the local community. The supplies are sent mostly by clients who have visited us. Rachida, the local Manager of the Kasbah distributes both clothes and medicine directly to the local women for their children. Many of the clothes are generoulsy sent by past guests of the Kasbah. We organize monthly rubbish collection sessions with the village children to keep the surroundings clean.

We contributed 5000DHS towards the cost of a septic tank in the village and is also part of the 'Tidy Village Operation.' The Kasbah uses energy efficient light bulbs, turns off lights, uses candlelight in the main house and fireplaces for heating. Please note that we now have 3 more rooms in the gardens which all have electricity. Our garden is organic and organic waste is composted and fed to the animals.
