A kanga is a colorful piece of fabric worn in East Africa, particularly in countries like Tanzania and Kenya. It typically measures about 1.5 by 1 meter and features vibrant patterns and designs, often with a border and a central motif. Kangas are versatile and can be used as clothing, head wraps, or even baby carriers. The fabric is usually made from cotton, making it comfortable and breathable. Each kanga often includes a Swahili proverb or saying, adding cultural significance. They are popular among women and are commonly worn during daily activities, celebrations, and ceremonies.
