Mile 11: Morocco
Woman: Samira
Charity: High Atlas Foundation
Cause: Launching women-run carpet weaving cooperatives

In a small village outside of Marrakesh, I met a group of nine Moroccan woman who make carpets. As rural women, they don’t have many opportunities to work, gain independence, or have a purpose outside of the home. One woman, Samira, opened up to me about the struggles of Moroccan woman and a transformational nonprofit workshop that gave them hope for a new future. Through empowerment trainings and ongoing support, they have created a coop that brings joy, hope, and purpose to their lives!

Let's give this opportunity to more women!

1. Carpet weaving is a traditional craft in Morocco. Generations of women pass down the skill and knowledge to keep the heritage alive.
2. Traditionally, rural women in Morocco do not work, have their own money, or any purpose outside of the home
3. High Atlas Foundation runs immersive empowerment workshops, provides ongoing training and support, and creates sustainable development in rural communities
4. After attending an empowerment workshop, Samira and 8 women in her community founded a carpet-making cooperative and are thriving!
5. One carpets costs $20-$100 depending on complexity and time to make it. The women sell the carpets to visitors of their village.
