Zineb is a Tadula Zanfi native and was born in the late 1980’s. Zineb attended school until the sixth grade as it was not commonly encouraged to finish more years of school at the time of her youth. She learned how to weave from her relatives and now specializes in flatweave or hanbel rugs. She hopes that one day her association becomes well known and is able to improve the lives of the women within it.
Khadija Kutani is the president of the association. She hopes that through her work she will be able to improve the lives of the association’s members and raise the standards of her association's work so it can compete on national and international markets. Through the income the association creates, she hopes that she will be able to teach and educate a whole new generation of girls from her village.
Fatima is from Teduit ZanFi, is married to, and is the mother of three. She is 50 years old. Fatima has never had the opportunity ti attend school, but is now working to improve her literacy skills through classes taught by the association. Fatima learned the craft of weaving from her mother. Because she was married to a man from a different village and lived there for many years, she often would go back and forth between her and her husband's village. After her husband passed away she has been the sole breadwinner for herself and her children. Fatima specializes in carpets, and has been a member of the cooperative since its inception.

Description
The designs made by the association are rooted in the long weaving history of the region. Many of these rugs, known as Taznakht rugs, are made distinct by bright reds and yellows, colors that represent the landscape in which the rugs were made. These bohemian style rugs have a contemporary feel while incorporating traditional Moroccan designs.
