About the rite
In the coastal Tanzanian communities of Kilwa and Kibiti, boys spend a period under the guidance of older men during Jando. After receiving instruction and taking part in rites that vary locally, they return to the community, marking a step toward adulthood. Field research published in 2023 describes how the practice has continued and changed.
