She runs her business called Marouf Aluminium Fabrications (MAF), a venture that deals in sliding doors and windows, louvre windows, balustrades, projected windows, partitioning, swing doors, among others.

The businesswoman has young people including men who are understudying her to become experts in framing aluminium.

Located at the Timber market off the Tema-Afienya road, she has made strides in the field.
