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!
Khadija El Abdi
My name is Khadija Al-Abdi, I am married and have two children, one son and one daughter, born in Ain Al-Louh in 1973. My educational level is the fifth grade of elementary school. I learned textile work through vocational training at the cooperative for two years, and afterwards, I joined the cooperative to help support my husband with the household expenses.
