MEET THE MAKERS
Rkiya Ibchine
I am married and a mother of five sons, who are all enjoy studying dermatology because it is my husband's profession. I work hard in my association because I want my children to have a bright future. I have experiences in weaving and sewing and focus on continuous training in this field. I would love to innovate more designs and grow our traditional handcraft industry. In my spare time, I take care of my children well and visit family and relatives. I love reading magazines and do search online.
Sakina Akroum
I am a college student. My love for my work in the associative made me very focused on my goals, achieving objectives, helping women, and their participation in the labor market. I want to be a leader in the associative and collaborative work by leading traditional and cultural activities within the association. I want to improve my standard of living and complete my education in oder to fight against poverty. As someone who was born in a village from the mountains, I practice traditional craft and hardware. In my spare time, I love to travel with young people.
