In this photo print, we witness the timeless tradition of women dividing up a bountiful fish catch on the picturesque shores of Lake Rukwa in Southwest Tanzania.

As the sun casts its golden glow upon them, these resilient African women showcase their deep connection with nature and their rich cultural heritage. With skilled hands and unwavering determination, they meticulously distribute the freshly caught fish amongst themselves. This act not only symbolizes their role as providers for their families but also highlights the vital importance of natural resources in sustaining local communities.
