MEET THE MAKERS
Khadija Lahchich
I am married and a mother of seven children. As a beer Amazing woman, I had to work hard in the plant field in order to improve the standard of living for my family because I never attended school. This association helps me and other women like me to have a life with better quality. I'd love to continue in business and associative charity events and helping others.
