who we are

Foundation Dar Si Hmad

Foundation Dar Si Hmad was founded in April 2010 in the town of Sidi Ifni, Morocco by its co-founders Dr. Aissa Derhem and Dr. Jamila Bargach. Grounding its projected work in the realities of Southwest Morocco and as a not-for-profit organization, its founders endowed it with the following institutional basis:

Vision

Enable sustainable livelihoods and create opportunities for low-resource communities in Morocco to learn and prosper.

Mission

Dar Si Hmad promotes local culture and creates sustainable initiatives through education and the integration and use of scientific ingenuity, within the communities of Southwest Morocco.

Fields of Activity

Education

With a strong environmental focus, Dar Si Hmad delivers a range of thematic educational programs that promote better understanding and management of our natural resources. We build our initiatives to include knowledge from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanistic approaches from local community members and international scholars alike.

Capacity Building

Working with youth is vital for any future progress. Dar Si Hmad works with Moroccan youth to foster learning and to develop critical skills. Our support of women participants, especially in our fog project, serves as a model for women empowerment.

Exchange and cooperation

Dar Si Hmad promotes intercultural exchange in southwest Morocco through academic and research programs, engages in south-south partnerships, relationships with various academic institutions, and in this prioritizes indigenous languages, cultures, histories, arts and artisanal practices.

Values:

Integrity

Honesty is vital for any NGO work, and for us integrity is the foundation of every action plan and reflection undertaken in Dar Si Hmad

Discipline

In order to bring projects to fruition, only discipline and commitment to work are able to lead us there

Creativity

It is being that other person, identifying with feelings and with what unites us as humans

Respect

Towards the other, of oneself and of our differences. It is the value of respect that endows our projects with force and tenacity

Compassion

Think outside the trodden paths, be on the look-out of new ideas and have the courage to try whatever the result
