HELP CHANGE WORLDS
Doing great business and good for the world should go hand in hand, and we know the power the PURE community has to Change Worlds.
That’s why, in partnership with Travel Link, we are once again funding a community project that will make sustainable social and economic change to Ait Ouamden; a Moroccan village in the Atlas Mountains.
Taking place on Saturday 9 September, one day prior to the official start of PURE 2023, the Community Project will task approximately 150 travel mavericks to roll up their sleeves and make a real, impactful difference to local Moroccans.

HOW IT WORKS
The Community Project takes place over a single day. You will be picked up at the Palais des Congrès in the morning and returned to Marrakech by the early afternoon.
You will be given the opportunity to directly support the villagers of Ait Ouamden by taking part in one of four hands-on activities.
2023 Itinerary:
07:00 – Registration at Palais des Congrès
07:30 – Departure
08:30 – Arrive at the village
08:45 – Berber breakfast in the home of a local family
09:30 – Activities begin
12:00 – End of activities
12:30 – Drive to Marrakech
13:30 – Return to Palais des Congrès
*A traditional Berber breakfast and transport is included. Be prepared for a day outside with some physical activity, depending on which activity you are allocated to.
If you would like to bring a gift for the villagers, we recommend a children’s book in either English or French (suitable for children up to age 10), a school bag, pens, and/or crayons.
MAKE IT PERSONAL
While giving money makes a huge difference, the Community Project is a unique way to give back directly, in person. You’ll get to meet local people, learning about their culture while engaging in a worthwhile, hands-on project – so you can ramp up the feel-good factor too.
Marrakech is a wonderful destination, and we feel it’s only right that we give back to a place that has meant so much to all of us for so many years. This is a great chance to see first-hand the life changing impact your actions can have.
NETWORK DIFFERENTLY
Rolling up your sleeves and collaborating on these community projects is a rewarding way to break the ice with your peers in an intimate, informal setting – all before the official start of PURE 2023.
It’s a perfect informal setting for building those invaluable relationships that can end up lasting for years. Whether you’ve been a PUREist since 2009, or you’re attending for the first time, this is your chance to give back and network in yet another unique way.
