Nanyonga Assumpta (left) and Mpirirwe Jackline strain a mixture of ghee (clarified butter), rock salt and tiny pieces of roasted meat to make eshabwe, a cream often served to the bride and groom during traditional marriage ceremonies in western Uganda. The cream must be made in a clean and quiet environment, so these women were hired to prepare it in a bedroom.
