The company’s objective is to preserve the intangible heritage of humanity by allowing its weavers to make a decent living from their loom and to improve the living conditions of their village. For ForWeavers and its passionate founder Ali Rakib, it is essential to protect oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals and festive events, knowledge and know-how necessary for traditional crafts.
