Fabulous Moroccan Rugs 

Fair Trade Quilts & Crafts has partnered with Peace Corps Volunteers in Morocco to bring you these moroccan rugwonderful new crafts. The women ofMoroccan Rug Boujaad , Morocco have been weaving carpets for generations, but have never had a market for their beautiful rugs outside of their small village. With the help of local Peace Corps volunteers the women of Boujaad formed the New Generation Company to market their crafts in North America and Fair Trade Quilts & Crafts signed on as their first client in the United States in order to support their venture. 

Their carpets are made of wool that is dyed using traditional methods, and all their products are made on the basis of fair trade principals. The women are paid a fair wage, work in their homes, and receive additional training and opportunities.  The artisans involved in New Generation include Aicha who is married to a butcher and has 5 children.Moroccan Rug  She learned to weave from her mother.  In addition to weaving, Aicha also spins raw wool into yarn to sell at the weekly souq to contribute to her family's income. Another of the artisans is Saidia who lives in the rural countryside outside of Boujaad in an area called Latichina. In Latichina there is no electricity or running water, and most of the women weave carpets to help increase their families income.  Saidia's 4 children help with household chores as well as with harvesting and planting on their farm.
