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.

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.
