In Kichangani, (and Tanzania as a whole), most people farm some land. If you're a resident you're entitled to buy up to 5 hectares from the village council. In some villages I was told that each family were given a set number of hectares. Otherwise livelihoods are made by keeping shop, running market stalls, teaching, weavering, driving piki-piki taxis and chefing at food stalls. Here are some of my memories of the people and places in the village.
Rice and beans - 5 different varieties!
Onions, tomatoes and aubergines - to mix it up a bit
Pounding.... beans
Weaving the local reeds
Piki-piki taxi loading up in the centre of the village
Delicious fried banana snacks
Always a fast and furious, competitive draughts game going on with the men
