Siham Errouk

From Marrakesh, Siham is married and a mother with three kids who all attend schools. My husband and I work hard and hope to up bring our standard of living for our children and help them to achieve their goals. I hope my children can join this association and together practice, innovate and learn the traditional handcraft industry in order to improve the standard of living and reduce poverty and marginalisation. In my spare time, I take care of my house and my children, then I visit family and loved ones.
