MEET THE MAKERS

Handmade by 2 members of Association Timouzounin

Rqia Brka

Rqia Brka is originally from Tadula Zanfi. While Rqia only finished two years of school, she has been determined to learn and is now enrolled in her association’s literacy class. She learned how to weave from her mom and now continues to weave in the association in her free time. She hopes that one day their sales will improve and that she will be able to make a living from her skills.

Fatima Mtous I

Fatima Mtous is from the village of Tadula Zanfi. She is the mother of two boys and one girl. She learned how to weave from her mom. Today she is taking literacy courses at a small qsuaranic school in the village. She has been weaving all her life. When she was younger, her father would often show off her rugs to her friends and eventually she got more and more recognition. At first, they would become gifts to people on special occasions and then she eventually showed them at local craft fairs. Because of this, she is one of the more traveled women of the village and has traveled to Marrakech, Agadir, Khemissit, and other places.
