We are proud to be Sahrawi, our people have lived in the desert for generations. It is in our soul. This land is a livelihood for many of us.

Unless you are from the Sahara you can never quite believe it. It is a place where you need to do more than see to believe, you have to live to believe.

You can’t understand the connection that we feel with the land and these animals.

Phosboucraa is a subsidiary of OCP. The name is a reference to Boucraa, the region where our operations and employees are based.

I was born in the Moroccan Sahara and joined the Phosboucraa team as a young engineer in 1982. Almost 40 years later, there is nowhere I’d rather be than here. I am part of an incredible community of individuals who help and support each other.

We established Phosboucraa Foundation in 2014 with the belief that social and economic development in the Moroccan Sahara is vital for our communities, our region and our operations.
