Who they are
The Mawa are an indigenous community living in the central region of Chad, integrated into the mosaic of Chadic peoples of Sub-Saharan Africa. With a strong connection to the land and rural traditions, the people preserve their own language in family and community daily life, maintaining an identity deeply rooted in the Islamic faith and in solidarity among local clans.
