Through the generous support of the Mava foundation and under the project titled ” Restoring Hima Ecosystem Functions through promoting sustainable community-based water management system”, SPNL managed to organize two participatory workshops for the establishment of Hima Kfar Zabad committee.
This took place in the presence of the municipal members of Kfarzabad, SPNL project manager and Hima Kfarzabad Center Manager in the municipality of Kfarzabad and Kfarzabad Hima center respectively.
