SAHARA DESERT

Refugee Camps and English Center
Over three decades ago, the colony of Western Sahara was invaded by Morocco from the north and Mauritania from the south. Families were split as many people fled into the desert expecting to return to their homes. Over thirty years later, Moroccans still occupy their homeland and tens of thousands of Saharawi live in refugee camps in the Sahara Desert in Western Algeria.

Our desire is to build bridges to the children and families in the Saharawi camps through sports and outreach support, teaching and programs at the English school and providing informal English speaking Conversation Circles.
