MEET THE MAKERS
Fatema El Haroui
My name is Fatima El Haroui, I am 47 years old, married and I have 4 children. I did not learn to read and write. I started working with the cooperative 6 years ago. I learned the craft of rug weaving from my grandmother. I joinded the cooperative because I love making rugs and weaving.
