Still struck by their inseparable bond with nature and the Gadaba people's minimal ecological footprints, this tribe has, for centuries, used such implements in household cleaning. The brooms would be primarily sweeping mud or thatch floors in houses, Being used outside to clean areas like courtyards and granaries.
The making entails careful selection of tough grasses and sturdy yet pliable bark strips, often gathered from native trees. The simplicity of the design embodies the tribe's practical wisdom and their way of life, where nothing is wasted and every natural resource used wisely. These tools for cleansing are generally handed down through generations by women in the community. Certainly, this traditional knowledge remains relevant; particularly now, when eco-friendly and biodegradable alternatives to synthetic materials are ever more sought after.
