MEET THE MAKERS
Aicha Fanshir
Aicha Fanshir was born in Tadula Zanfi in the early seventies. She studied in school for a couple of years before having to drop out to support her family. She learned how to weave from her mom and other relatives. Due to her skill, she decided to join the association. Today she is married with 5 children. Since her husband has day to day work in agriculture, she hopes that any sales she is able to make can supplement her family’s income and put her children through school.
VISIT THE VILLAGE
Association Timouzounin hosts visitors in their village — share tea, watch the artisans at work, and see the craft up close. Visits start at $21 per person, and most of it goes straight to the group.
