Beba Osmanović

Beba was born in Srebrenica in 1969 and married at the age of 21. The other weavers at BOSFAM affectionately refer to her as Mala Beba, or "Small Beba", since the founder of the organization is also named Beba.
In 1993, Beba’s son Allen was born in Srebrenica. Just two years later, on July 11, 1995 Beba was separated from her husband and forced to flee to Tuzla with her toddler. The remains of Beba’s husband were found and identified in 2004. He was buried at Potocari in 2005.
As a widow and single mother, Beba cannot make ends meet from weaving alone. After a long day at BOSFAM, she goes to work at other part-time jobs.
Despite her difficult circumstances, Beba manages to be a real morale booster in the BOSFAM office. Her sense of humor and patience are a great asset to the group.
