MEET THE MAKERS
Fatima Ahknini
Fatima has only recently settled in the village of Imghlaus. Her husband was a soldier in the army and as a result, they lived in different places throughout Morocco. They currently have six children and are expecting grandchildren soon. Fatima has been a member of the cooperative since it began and hopes that it continues growing!
Malika Ait Assa
Malika was born in Amlghas, and is now married. She learned carpet weaving when she was a child from her mom.
VISIT THE VILLAGE
Imelghas Women's Cooperative hosts visitors in their village — share tea, watch the artisans at work, and see the craft up close. Visits start at $17 per person, and most of it goes straight to the group.
