In one of the poorest residential areas in Cairo, in a community where obtaining meat, fruit and daily bread is a constant struggle, a social practice known as “al Gami’ya” (the assembly) helps the inhabitants to endure their hardships, functioning, among other things, as an alternative banking system. An optimistic, genuine “slice of life” of a place that doesn’t know rest.
