Khadija was born and raised in Ain Leuh and has lived in the village all her life. Since she never completed school. she jumped at the opportunity to join the Ain Leuh Cooperative back in 1982, as she saw it as a path to becoming literate and educated. Moreover, it was a great opportunity for her to find work near her home as she cannot walk or travel far distances due to a disability. She hopes that through her work she can continue supporting the growth of the cooperative so that it can become world famous. Khadija is married and has two children.
A Boucherouite rug is a type of handmade rug that was traditionally woven when a family no longer had wool to weave or simply could no longer afford it. To replace wool, families used torn shreds of old unused clothing to weave the rugs that would get them through cold winters.
