Bio:

Tighanimine is the very first Fairtrade certified argan oil cooperative in the world. The Cooperative is formed of 50 farmers, all women. As men are often the sole income providers in rural Morocco, many women are entirely dependent on their husbands or fathers. With unemployment hitting high levels in the region, families live in dire circumstances. This is why inTighanimine, a group of women of the local douar (a Berber tent camp) decided to take action by creating the very first Fairtrade certified argan oil cooperative in the world they have been able to introduce their product to overseas markets and lift themselves out of poverty.
