A Boucherouite is a thick colorful rug made from recycled sweaters that are woven and repurposed into new, unique designs. Boucherouites were originally created out of necessity but are now a coveted item for decorating a modern home.
Fatoma was born in 1963 in the suburbs of Khenifra, she is married and the mother of three children. Fatoma learned to weave at home as a young girl but has never been able to earn a living from her weaving. Fatoma joined the cooperative to help her family members in the cooperative and to contribute to household expenses including medical treatment. Fatoma has a dream of someday purchasing a house with the profits from her rugs.
