# Anou - The Artisan Cooperative

> Anou is a Moroccan artisan cooperative that connects buyers directly with artisans across Morocco. Founded and run by Morocco's artisan community, Anou eliminates middlemen so artisans earn fair prices for their handmade work.

## About Anou
Anou (meaning "source" or "spring" in Amazigh/Berber) is a cooperative owned and managed by Moroccan artisans. Unlike traditional fair trade models, Anou puts artisans in control of pricing, photography, and sales. Artisans photograph their own work, set their own prices, and ship directly to customers worldwide.
