Flatweave Rug

Hachmia Addouiri

Hachmia was born and raised in Ain Leuh. She is widely regarded as one of the hardest working members of the Ain Leuh Cooperative. This work ethic shines through given the fact that she has never attended school, but still enrolled in a weaving certification program and started working at the cooperative. Hachmia is a single parent with two girls and a boy. Her dedication and persistence of her work allow her to use the money she earns to support the children's living and education. She is indeed a strong woman!

She credits the cooperative for giving her experience in marketing, dealing with customers, and of course, traveling to many craft fairs across the country. She now specializes in making the cooperatives pile knot rugs and hanbel rugs.
