MEET THE MAKERS
Chaouai Naima
Naima was born in the town of Oued Ifrane and moved to Qsar Muoy in the 1980’s when she married her husband. She is the sister of Mustapha Chaouai, one of the artisan leaders of Anou.
Hlima Ait Alla
Halima was born in Qsar Muoy and has never married. While she did not finish school, she still attends literacy classes provided by a local association. She hopes that through the association she will be able to learn how to use technology and improve the marketing of her association.
Rabha Amalik
Rabha has been a member of the association since it was first founded. She hopes that through her work the association will not only be able to increase sales, but also bring more tourists to her village.
