Their homes are built from natural materials. They lack electricity and indoor plumbing.

Marriages are arranged by family elders and there is usually a bride price involved. This can be money or livestock. There are pre-wedding rituals involving ceremonies, gift exchanges, and beauty treatment for the bride to prepare her for her big day.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Most are Christian, though there are animistic practices blended in with biblical faith. Still, there is an Evangelical majority that is well prepared to be Christ s ambassadors to their neighbors.
