A Boucherouite rug is a type of handmade rug that was traditionally woven when a family no longer had wool to weave or simply could no longer afford it. To replace wool, families used torn shreds of old unused clothing to weave the rugs that would get them through cold winters.
Hachmia was born and raised in Ain Leuh. She is widely regarded as one of the hardest working members of the Ain Leuh Cooperative. This work ethic shines through given the fact that she has never attended school, but still enrolled in a weaving certification program and started working at the cooperative. Hachmia is a single parent with two girls and a boy. Her dedication and persistence of her work allow her to use the money she earns to support the children's living and education. She is indeed a strong woman!
