MEET THE MAKERS
Hadda Ouchari
Hadda Ouchari was born in the near by town of Oued Ifrane and moved to Zaouia when she married her husband. Her husband used to work as a shepherd but has since become ill and no longer works. Hadda and her husband had one daughter who is now divorced with a daughter of her own. Because of this, Hadda spends most of her spare time taking care of her granddaughter. Through the sales of her carpets, Hadda hopes that she can bring a doctor to her home and help her husband become well again.
