Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa

Hariette Kahambu makes a distilled alcoholic drink, known as rutuku or mangwende, with help from her children in Kirumba, a city in Democratic Republic of Congo’s North Kivu province. The drink is made from a mixture of corn and cassava flour. The family rents a hand-built machine for $1 per day to grind the corn.
