MEET THE MAKERS
Fatima Khaali
Fatima is one of the original founders of Cooperative El Farah and serves as its president. Fatima began weaving with her mom when she was only ten years. Over the years, she has developed her weaving skills and has continued to refine them at the cooperative. Fatima hopes that through her weaving she is able to provide enough income to support her two children since she is a single mother.
Yemna Boumaraz
Yemna was born in a village outside the southern city of Taza. She married her husband, who is also from Taza, and moved with him to Timahdite where he was looking for work at the time. Yemna never attended school, so craft became her most important skill. Since joining the cooperative, Yemna believes that her skill in weaving has greatly increased. She hopes that through her sales she'll earn enough to go on a Hajj, an Islamic pilgrimage.
