Discover the Mirleft Cultural Cove Experience

Welcome to Mirleft, Morocco! Our hub is run by Aliyah Santos, Hassnae Iguid, and Hafid Sebai.  

 

Aliyah is a single mom of 4 children (20g, 14b, 10g, and 4g), who has been worldschooling full-time for 6 years. She holds a Social Work degree, has partially completed a Business Management Master’s Degree, and has dabbled in Early Childhood Education, Freelance Writing, Bookkeeping, Human Resources, and Payroll.  

        

Hassnae is a certified nurse and first aid provider.  She has worked in telecommunications, wedding assistance, catering, nannying, education, doctor’s assistant, and non-profit associations.  Hassnae is a local source for translation, Amazigh and Moroccan culture, transportation, and housing.

 

Hafid is the quintessential “beach boy” with extensive knowledge of the local beach environment, fishing, and other sea life.  He has grown up on the beaches of Mirleft and is a wealth of knowledge for all outdoor activities, including surfing and freediving.  

 

Hub Creation: Aliyah first came to Morocco in December 2018 and fell in love with the people and the culture. The Santos family lived in Morocco from December 2018 to March 2022 and again from June 2023 onwards.  Most of this time was spent in Mirleft, making connections and learning more about Morocco.  Aliyah and Hassnae met in January 2019 and quickly became 3acheran (soul sisters). Aliyah’s entire family met Hafid in November 2019 and quickly fell in love with his family and his easy-going, happy demeanor. The idea of a hub was born amongst our three hub leaders in March 2020, but was not possible at that time due to Covid and tight restrictions in Morocco.  We came back together in March 2023 to start work on our first (but not last) hub.

 

Join us at this project that not only provides educational opportunities for worldschooling families, but also business and growth opportunities for youth and women in the local community! Our hub aims to build partnerships with local organizations by aiding them in their work on sustainable development goals.
