The Eve Branson Foundation

The Eve Branson Foundation aims to improve the lives of women and young girls in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco through education, business and health care.

Kasbah Tamadot and Virgin Unite (the Virgin Group's entrepreneurial foundation) work hand in hand to improve living standards in the communities around the property. This effort is spearheaded by Eve Branson, known to us as Richard's mum! The Eve Branson Foundation aims to help the local people in the long term by setting up sustainable enterprises which so far have included a carpet workshop and a craft house run and managed by locals. When you visit Kasbah Tamadot you can purchase a selection of these handmade items in the Virgin Unite gift shop just behind the tennis courts. If you'd like to learn more about this initiative and all the latest developments, including a project to bring a herd of Cashmere goats to Morocco,
