As the sun sets over Moshi, two friends—Samwel, a Christian, and Athumani, a Muslim—sit side by side, ready to break their fast.

Samwel has been fasting for Lent, a 40-day period of reflection leading up to Easter. Athumani has been observing Ramadan, the sacred month of fasting in Islam.

Tonight, they share a simple yet meaningful meal of dates and 𝘶𝘫𝘪 (a Tanzanian porridge), embracing the spirit of sacrifice, gratitude, and faith.
