Fatima was born in the Ait Bougamez valley just north of where the Imghlaus cooperative is located. She and her husband, a farmer, have five children and 11 grand children, some of whom also work in the cooperative. Fatima has worked in the cooperative since it began and specializes in washing and preparing the wool for each carpet. When Fatima is not working at the cooperative, she can be found working in the fields or completing chores at her house. She hopes that through the sales of her carpets, the cooperative will succeed in its mission of improving the lives of women in Imghlaus.
Fatma was born in 1961 in Bimghlass. She is a widow with 3 daughters, two of them are married and she now lives with the third. Fatma learned weaving from her mom when she was a kid. She uses her craft as a source of income to support herself and her daughters.
