A Solidarity Commitment at the Heart of Heritage
Located in southern Morocco, Ait Ben Haddou is more than a majestic site; it's a living symbol of UNESCO World Heritage. This fortified village, a testament to its ancestral past, has become a place where cultures and hopes converge, particularly during the Izouran Festival. This event, held one year after the earthquake that struck southern Morocco, brought together festival-goers from around the world to celebrate solidarity, peace, and reconstruction.
It is in this context that Maison NANA1807 had the honor of participating in this exceptional human adventure. Alongside the NGO We Speak Citizen, led by the incredible Loubna Mouna, Maison NANA1807 kept its commitment by introducing the Solidarity Tea COEURS DU MAROC , a blend specially designed to support humanitarian and reconstruction actions in the Berber villages affected by the earthquake.
We Speak Citizen: A Partner for Solidarity
The NGO We Speak Citizen has carried out numerous actions in support of local populations, both before and since the earthquake, particularly through reconstruction and psychological support initiatives.

Crafted using traditional methods, this tea reflects Maison NANA1807's expertise and commitment to promoting values of peace and solidarity throughout the world. This tea is designed for those seeking an exceptional taste experience while supporting a cause.
A Solidarity Mint Tea Café in Perspective
As an extension of this partnership, Maison NANA1807, Atelier de l'Olivier, and We Speak Citizen plan to create a Solidarity Mint Tea Café within the Maison de l'Oralité in Ait Ben Haddou. This space will be dedicated to meeting, sharing, and solidarity. Each tea served in this room will have a symbolic significance, uniting visitors around a simple but powerful gesture: sharing a cup of tea in favor of peace.
The Solidarity Mint Tea Café will also be a place to discover Moroccan traditions, where visitors can enjoy traditional mint tea while supporting reconstruction initiatives. This project is part of Maison NANA1807's commitment to promoting responsible and fair trade, in line with the values championed by We Speak Citizen.
The Spirit of the Izouran Festival: A Family of Heart
The Izouran Festival, at its core, is a celebration of peace, brotherhood, and hope. For Maison NANA1807, it was more than just an event: it was a meeting with a family of the heart. Over Mint Tea for Peace , festival-goers and friends shared moments of great intensity, forging deep bonds.
We leave this festival with immense gratitude to Loubna Mouna, Moulay Hicham, and the entire We Speak Citizen team, whose unwavering commitment helped make this event an unforgettable success. The emotional discussions over tea reinforced our conviction that solidarity and humanity are the keys to a better future.
An Experience to Repeat
Maison NANA1807's participation in the Izouran Festival doesn't stop there. We look forward to reuniting with our friends and new brothers and sisters in this exceptional human adventure. Whether in Ait Ben Haddou or elsewhere, we are convinced that this dynamic of peace and solidarity will continue to grow, driven by initiatives such as the HEARTS OF MOROCCO Solidarity Tea and upcoming projects.
Maison NANA1807 is honored to have been able to contribute to this unique event. A thousand and one thoughts go out to all those who participated and our deepest gratitude to those who allowed us to share this rare and intense family moment. We look forward to continuing this adventure with you, always accompanied by a mint tea to celebrate peace and hope.
