The Dar Si Hmad Association for development, education and culture is inaugurating its fog-harvesting project today, Saturday the 21st, in the Sidi Ifni province in the Souss-Massa-Draâ region.

The inauguration ceremony, to which several national and international partners have been invited, is part of World Water Day, celebrated on 22 March each year.

The Dar Si Hmad Association highlights, in a press release, that the inauguration of this project is an opportunity for the invited donors and the local community to appreciate a technologically revolutionary project in the world of alternative water collection solutions.

Thus, it adds, they are also invited to the inauguration ceremony "to witness the instant access to drinking water in homes for the first time in the history of this region".

After six years of scientific research, the Dar Si Hmad Association has succeeded in implementing a unique fog-water collection system in North Africa with a view to contributing to the improvement of living conditions for rural populations.

Note that this Association has chosen, initially, to focus on five villages in the rural commune of Tnin Amellou, in the Sidi Ifni province.

Founded in 2010, Dar Si Hmad is a non-profit association whose main mission aims "to promote local culture and encourage viable initiatives through, in particular, education, integration and the use of scientific ingenuity with communities in South-west Morocco".
