Dust off your hiking boots, pack your parka, and grab your walking stick- we’re going on an adventure!

We are thrilled to announce that the much-anticipated 2014 edition of MCT’s Toubkal Trek will take place 2nd-10th May 2014.

To complete our trusty and daring team, we’re looking for fabulous supporters like YOU to come join us as we hike through the gorgeous terrain of the Atlas Mountains in southwestern Morocco.

As a trekker, you will aim to raise £2000. £1000 will go directly to support the Street Children Project in Taroudannt, which supports street-connected children through social and educational programmes run directly in partnership with our in-country NGO, Groupe Maroc Horizons. Our team of local social workers offers practical and emotional support to street-connected children who face challenges in their daily lives such as neglect and physical abuse and who encounter obstacles in accessing healthcare and education.

The other £1000 will cover the entire cost of the trip including flights, guides, all food and accommodation, and a trip to Taroudannt to visit Centre Afaq and the very project and children you’re supporting. However, this cost is only a maximum and may be lowered; we’ll keep you informed!

Need a little inspiration? Be prepared to be blown away by how much fun our 2013 Trekkers had. I can’t even handle how beautiful it was: the starry skies, the sun-capped peaks, the smiles on the children’s faces as they arrived in Taroudannt! Check out our photo albums here and here.

More information, including a payment timeline and a list of suggested equipment will be available soon.
