El Kibera Tahiri was born in Oued Ifrane and runs a small store that sells clothing to local villagers. El Kibera joined the association in 2012 and specializes in all the products that the association makes. She hopes that through her sales on Anou, she’ll earn enough money to organize a Moroccan craft fair in New York. In the future, she wants to become fluent in both French and English.
Malikah was born in 1962, is not married in Oued Ifrane where she has lived her whole life, and before the coop she has never worked. This is the first time that she has been able to earn her own autonomous income. As a young girl she learned weaving from her mother and her mother's friends. She has never been able to sell her products because of the exploitation of the middleman, and her hope is that she will be able to sell her products on international markets. She hopes that coops will be able to protect weavers from the exploitative practices of the middleman. Malikah also is now able to attend local literacy programs to improve her reading and writing skills.

Description
Despite its modern chic appeal, the Boucharef carpet is woven into traditional Atlas Mountain culture. When poorer families were low in supplies during a cold winter, they washed and tore up old clothing to furnish their homes. Fortunately today, the carpet carries on in tradition rather than in necessity.
Transparent Pricing
#KnowThePrice
Moroccan artisans are paid a meagre 4% of an average sale online or in local markets.
But with your help we can change that!
Every product on Anou is priced by artisans themselves and Anou shows
exactly where your money goes. When buying handmade Moroccan crafts always ask for pricing breakdowns from sellers.
