Zaima Imchurga

60-year old Zaima has worked at the co-op for 6 years. Zaima’s husband works on others’ farms as a hired hand, but, because there is no work for him now, they are both are grateful for her income which allows them to provide for their six children.

Zaima’s name means beautiful in Arabic. I ask her if she feels beautiful. Her response is an emphatic, “yes!”
