MEET THE MAKERS
Aziza Kobrachine
Aziza Kobrachine is from Tadula Zanfi and attended school until the fourth grade. She learned how to weave from her sister and then finished a training where she learned more about textile making and natural dyes. Aziza took part in establishing the association, which was one of the first in the immediate area. Her goals with it were to create a place where women could work together and find a way to generate income through their own business without having to resort to their families.
VISIT THE VILLAGE
Association Timouzounin hosts visitors in their village — share tea, watch the artisans at work, and see the craft up close. Visits start at $21 per person, and most of it goes straight to the group.
