Mitakawani Village, Zanzibar
In the heart of Unguja, the southern island of Zanzibar, lies the small village of Mitakawani. Far removed from tourist hotspots, the community relies almost entirely on spice farming for its livelihood. With most farmers working small plots of land, harvests are often combined and sold collectively, allowing the community to share both resources and profits.
