MEET THE MAKERS
Chaouai Naima
Naima was born in the town of Oued Ifrane and moved to Qsar Muoy in the 1980โs when she married her husband. She is the sister of Mustapha Chaouai, one of the artisan leaders of Anou.
Hlima Ait Alla

Rachida Mchaq
Aicha Rihi
Aicha grew up in Kasr Mouy Tadighoust and learned craft from her early age from her mother. She is widowed and has two kids. She joined Association Tadighoust to join forces with other women artisans and protect their craft and revenue. Her Anou sales have helped her to provide for her kids education.
VISIT THE VILLAGE
Association Tadighoust hosts visitors in their village — share tea, watch the artisans at work, and see the craft up close. Visits start at $14 per person, and most of it goes straight to the group.
