Hasna was born in the 1970’s. When she was younger, she moved to Tadula Zanfi because her dad found work in the local area as a miner. Her oldest son and daughter are both enrolled in high school and her younger daughter is still in elementary school. Hasna joined the association when it was first established and has loved working within it ever since, even though it only produces a small amount of income. She hopes that the sales can eventually improve so she can earn enough money to cover all the costs of putting her children through school.
Zahra Kubrashen is a Tadula Zanfi native as is her husband, who works as a day laborer. Together they have three boys and three girls. The eldest son is married and the rest of the sons work as day laborers like their father. Two of her daughters continue to live with her at her home. Zahra never finished school because she became ill. Later, she joined an association where she was able to gain skills managing livestock and chickens and earned income from that. She hopes that through her sales she will be able to build a bigger house for herself and her family.
The designs made by the association are rooted in the long weaving history of the region. Many of these rugs, known as Taznakht rugs, are made distinct by bright reds and yellows, colors that represent the landscape in which the rugs were made.
