MEET THE MAKERS
Fatema Ait Sidi Hmad
My name is Fatima, I'm 50 years old, married and a mother of three. I never got the chance to attend school, I have a two months experience in cooperative work. I learned to make rugs from a family member. My goal in joining a cooperative is to have a steady income for me and my family and of course to improve our situation overall. I hope we succeed.
Sara Abna
I'm Sara, I'm 26, married and a mother of two. I dropped out of school my last year in primary school. I have a six year experience working in this cooperative. My mother taught me the craft of making rugs, I also joined in hopes of having a steady income to benefit my kids and also I just love making rugs, It's a passion of mine. I hope our cooperative succeeds even more in the future.
