MEET THE MAKERS
Aicha Ait Baha
Aicha was born in Tata of the Youssoufia region of Morocco. Aicha was not able to complete her studies because the school was far from her village and her parents could not afford the costs. Despite this background, Aicha became one of the founders of the cooperative, which today provides her with a little income. She hopes that one day she'lll be able to earn enough through the cooperative to provide her a permanent income. With the money she hopes to earn, she hopes she can save enough to send her parents on Islamic pilgrimage and become independent. In her free time, She enjoys traveling, cooking, sewing and reading the Koran. When she is at the cooperative she does what she can to improve her skills so her dream of becoming financially independent is realized.
