Saida was born in 1985 and never married. She left school after her primary education because there was no secondary school in the area. Saida learned and utilizes the craft of embroidery and sewing, and wants to teach other women in the village who have left school these skills so that they may gain sustainable income.
Naima was born in 1978, and attended school through the fifth grade. Naima left school because of family troubles and because of the distance between her childhood home and the location of the school. She is an active member of the cooperative.
The Anou Artisan Team Found Quality Issues:
This rug was inspected at Anou's Store and the artisan team found bleeding on the rug as the dye was not from Anou but an unverified source (spots of the blue are bleeding, please see the video posted on this page). The rug was a little dirty and it has since been cleaned by the Anou team. We cannot verify the dye type and it is probable the rug will bleed if exposed to water. The artisan have reposted this with a discount, and is not available for custom order.
This rug is made using threads of wool tied to a cotton warp.
