MEET THE MAKERS
Hachmia Addouiri
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!
Fatima Abbarao
My name is Fatima Abbarao, born in 1967. I am married and have two children. I couldn't pursue my education, so I joined the cooperative to support myself and my family financially. I learned textile work from my mother.
