Aicha Qayyou
Aich Qayou was born in the late 1970โs. She learned how to weave from her mother at a young age and then joined the association in 2008.

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 Kotaniu
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.

Through the other women of the cooperative, she has learned new skills in pattern design.
