Who they are
The Kenele are a small Indigenous people living in the tropical forests of Papua New Guinea, in the Sepik River region. With strong community ties and ancestral traditions passed down orally, they preserve their native language, Kyenele. Most of the community has embraced Christianity, but they still face challenges arising from geographic isolation and the need to deepen their faith.
