TINMEL N’TUDERT by Fondation Dar Si Hmad — digital skills for rural children, with emphasis on enlarging horizons for girls, and immersive field research.
At Fondation Dar Si Hmad, our principle is simple but with far-reaching potential and impact. Based on the significant Brundtland Report (1987), we also believe that when we define sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” We have the moral obligation then to care for our resources, and also pass this knowledge to younger generations, future stewards of this planet.
