"We're forced to accept any price, even if it's very low.. because we really need the money," says a woman who creates carpets on a wooden weaving loom in the Moroccan village of Taznakht.

The mountain villages around Taznakht are famous for their Ait Ouaouzguite carpets, named after a native Amazigh tribe, one among a grouping of several communities indigenous to North Africa long referred to as Berbers.
