Each Zerbya, or pile knot rug, reflects designs that blend the designs of the association's president with the colors and symbols commonly found throughout the Ouarzazate region.
Mina was born in the Ourzazate region in 1970 and has lived in the area ever since. She enrolled in school but at the end of 3rd grade she dropped out to help support her family. Today, her primary source of income is through the sales her rugs. In the future, she hopes that the association grows and expands.
