This participatory video, created by members of the Mijikenda people of coastal Kenya, explores the community’s efforts to revive Mweria and restore grassroots economic systems of collaboration and shared responsibility.
“Mweria" is an ancient practice of the Mijikenda people of coastal Kenya, echoing the traditions of many Indigenous cultures globally. Known as a Rotating Labor Association, it revolves around mutual commitments to community support.
