Zineb is a Tadula Zanfi native and was born in the late 1980’s. Zineb attended school until the sixth grade as it was not commonly encouraged to finish more years of school at the time of her youth. She learned how to weave from her relatives and now specializes in flatweave or hanbel rugs. She hopes that one day her association becomes well known and is able to improve the lives of the women within it.
Aicha Abrik is a Tadule Zanfi native. Aicha only spent one year in school before having to leave to support her family. While supporting her family at home, she learned how to weave from her mom and other relatives. She specializes in pile knot rugs and can also make some impressive embroidered designs.
Hasna was born in the 1970’s. When she was younger, she moved to Tadula Zanfi because her dad found work in the local area as a miner. Her oldest son and daughter are both enrolled in high school and her younger daughter is still in elementary school. Hasna joined the association when it was first established and has loved working within it ever since, even though it only produces a small amount of income. She hopes that the sales can eventually improve so she can earn enough money to cover all the costs of putting her children through school.
