Help us to build a shelter for our camels

Hi everyone! This is something I never saw myself doing, as I am not one to ask for help. However, i started hosting experiences in my village to support my community and I receive countless messages daily from my guests asking whether we have a shelter for our camels and how they can donate to support our lovely camels.

So, here goes nothing:

As many of you know, Morocco was hit very hard by COVID. It spread very quickly. We lost 3 camels within 4 months as we couldn’t feed all our camels.We have been sleeping outside with new mothers for many nights to make sure they give a safe birth, and we took them inside our simple home to protect them from the cold as it gets pretty cold at night.

This has been the most challenging experience of our lives, but we would do it 1000x over if it meant saving our baby camels, and stop our Dromedary sufferance by offering them a shelter .

We also understand that we most likely will never be able to keep our camels safe and happy as we struggle to provide a good shelter for them.

Dromedary camels prefer shaded areas when ambient temperatures are above 40 °C. Shade promotes positive welfare, while the lack of adequate shaded areas and overcrowding may trigger poor welfare outcomes (i.e., pacing and prolonged standing).

Our ultimate goal is to purchase our own land and build an ecological shelter from dirth for our camels to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the hot summers in Morocco, where temperatures can reach 52 degrees Celsius (125 degrees Fahrenheit)

We see our village in Agafay as a place that anyone and everyone can come to seek comfort and experience the love and joy of animals. We have so many goals, no matter your age, sexuality, gender, or ethnicity, all of which include giving back to our local community and all of YOU!

This is a goal we know will eventually become reality, and with your help, it could become reality a lot sooner than we ever anticipated! Please do not feel obligated to donate, but for those of you who have been asking, here’s your chance.
