MEET THE MAKERS

Handmade by 2 members of Association Timouzounin

Zineb Rkhsis

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.

Aisha Affi

Aisha was born in 1982, in Teduit ZanFi. She is not married and dropped out of school after the fourth grade. Aisha learned the craft of weaving from her mother after she stopped attending school. Aisha has other skills in handicraft that she sells through this association. From this association, she has been able to earn a meaningful amount of income to assist her family.
