MEET THE MAKERS
Sara Abna
I'm Sara, I'm 26, married and a mother of two. I dropped out of school my last year in primary school. I have a six year experience working in this cooperative. My mother taught me the craft of making rugs, I also joined in hopes of having a steady income to benefit my kids and also I just love making rugs, It's a passion of mine. I hope our cooperative succeeds even more in the future.
