For the pastoral Indigenous women of Africa, milk is a precious source related to water. However, these women cannot carry milk easily from their lands, so they will do what they can, and will be invited to bring water.
It is recognized that women from each region have ceremonies that differ from one community to another community. This will be recognized. The local host will be Indigenous women of South Africa, with support from other Indigenous women from other regions.
