In its appeal, the establishment emphasizes the importance of this fundraising campaign to launch Douar Shems'y and ensure the immediate needs of the community during the harsh winter. Future fundraising efforts will be sought to sustain the village's operations beyond 2025.

The inauguration ceremony on Friday was attended by local and international partners, authorities, and residents, who recognized this initiative as a vital part of the post-earthquake reconstruction of Al Haouz.
