'One big family' is how Um Ghareeb describes her community in one of Cairo's poorest districts. Driven by the women who rule the roost, all members regularly contribute a small amount of money into a pot. At meetings, a collective decision is made as to how to share it. Reem Saleh spent six years following this colourful community, revealing their daily struggles and touching solidarity.
