Nos Amis pour la Vie – Marrakech
Join us and help save lives.
Every day, we give a second chance to animals that no one else is waiting for.
Bienvenue au sanctuaire “Nos Amis Pour La Vie”, à Marrakech, un havre de paix
sur 7 hectares, ou nous accueillons aujourd’hui plus de
120 chiens et 15 équidés, tous rescapés de l’abandon, de la maltraitance,
du handicap ou de la rue.
Here, every life is precious and every animal matters.
Depuis 2020, Julia, la fondatrice, et son équipe se relaient sans relâche pour offrir à nos protégés
soins, nourriture, abris… et surtout de l’amour.
We also work in the community through the TNVR programme — Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate and Return — to reduce the number of stray animals and combat rabies around Marrakesh.
TNVR (Stériliser, Vacciner, Identifier, Relâcher) afin de réduire la population errante
et lutter contre la Rage autour de Marrakech.
We need your help to continue. Your support makes a genuine difference to the lives of our animals.
- Faites un don et aidez-nous à sauver encore plus de vies.
- Parrainez ou adoptez un animal et offrez-lui un avenir digne.
- Devenez bénévole et faites partie, vous aussi, de cette chaîne de solidarité.

I've made the trip twice from Belgium
I’ve made the trip twice from Belgium to go on site, and what a joy that is indescribable. 🥰
Julia is an incredibly great. A strong woman without whom none of this would exist. 💪 She gives her whole life to her refuge, always in kindness, and love with a team so dedicated, and 24/24h and 7/7d.
Their home is amazing. We are immediately integrated in the team and form a real family with all the other volunteers. 🥹
This place is just a haven of peace. ✨ My paradise on earth. A unique place where time stops to make room for the infinite love. You have to live it to understand it. ♥️
The animals are actual gifts of heaven and offer without counting… Then I can only invite you to support all your heart, that it is financially or just by following and sharing this great cause. Whether on social networks or by talking about it around you… because it helps much more than you can imagine. 💪
They need us. We must not and can not close the eyes. 🐾🐕🐶

OUR STORY
La naissance d’un sanctuaire.
It all began with a simple act: feeding several hungry dogs on the streets of Marrakesh. Julia and her mother could never look away from animal suffering. Calls for help quickly multiplied, along with the number of dogs needing rescue.
Overwhelmed by the urgency but determined not to abandon them, they rented their first plot of land. What began as a family dream became a daily mission. Rescue after rescue, the sanctuary grew and a dedicated team formed to care for the animals seven days a week.
Aujourd’hui, Nos Amis Pour La Vie est devenu un véritable havre de paix, unique en son genre, où plus de 100 chiens et plusieurs équidés rescapés de l’abandon et de la maltraitance vivent enfin en sécurité.
This sanctuary exists only because of the people who believe in our cause. Every donation, every share and every act of support helps us continue saving lives.
