Project overview
The Rif War (1921–1926) is a story of resilience, sacrifice, and the fight for freedom. Today much of this history risks being forgotten. The foundation aims to build a Rif War History Museum and Educational Center with authentic artifacts, historical documents and exhibitions, plus an on-site school and research facility.
Goal & location
To raise funds for the construction and furnishing of a combined museum and history school: one large museum in Al Hoceima and two smaller hubs in the Gzenaya and Nador regions, because of the military history in those regions.
Planned features
- Museum halls with exhibitions on the Rif War and resistance leaders
- Archives of photographs, letters, and oral histories from elders
- Classrooms for history lessons, workshops, and lectures
- Audio-visual rooms for documentaries and interactive learning
- Research library for students and historians
- Outdoor memorial garden
Why it matters
- Preservation of a vital piece of Rif heritage
- Education that inspires young generations
- A cultural landmark that supports the local economy
- Stronger community pride and identity
