Who they are
The Barein are an indigenous community living in the central region of Chad, part of the country’s rich diversity of Chadic-speaking peoples. Dedicated primarily to subsistence farming and livestock raising, they live in rural villages where family and community ties shape the daily rhythm. Their cultural identity is deeply tied to local traditions and the Islamic faith, which guides their customs, celebrations, and collective values.
