Millions of people could lose their homes and livelihoods as the world’s deserts expand because of climate change and unsustainable human activities. The Sahara Roots Foundation helps by taking action to reduce desertification, preserving the culture of the Moroccan Sahara and inspiring others to do the same Foundation for Conservation and Education
We take a grassroots approach;
it’s about giving local people the tools and the insights to take action themselves
