The association Le Savoir au Village supports Berber women to acquire knowledge that will enable them to improve the quality of family and village life. The first step is the construction and equipping of the school for women. By supporting this project you can be assured your help is directly benefiting the people who need it most.

In concrete terms you can participate in this initiative in four ways:

1. • by becoming a member of the association Le Savoir au Village
   

2. • by  donating
   

3. • by sharing your knowledge and expertise on site
   

4. • by collecting funds in favor of the association
   

To donate

Le Savoir au Village is a non-profit association. As a small organization, the association has very low administrative costs (work is done voluntarily), and because of this all donations benefit directly the women in the three villages. Thanks to your donations, we will be able to continue with the building of the centre, supply basic materials (weaving tables, wool, etc.) and hire more teachers. Donations above 100CHF are tax exempt.
