Aich Qayou was born in the late 1970’s. She learned how to weave from her mother at a young age and then joined the association in 2008. Through her work at the association, she hopes that one day she can earn enough income to build her own private house. In her free time she likes to watch Turkish soap operas and hopes that in the future she will have the income to travel more.
Khadija is the president of the association and was born in Tedouit ZanFi in 1977, and is taught herself how to weave and develop skills in the craft, which is why she has wanted the products of their cooperative to be widely recognized in Morocco and famous worldwide. She hopes that she and all of the other women of the association will be able to earn sustainable income. She wants to create a new generation of weavers so that this craft may stay alive. Through the other women of the cooperative, she has learned new skills in pattern design.
