TITLE: Faith

The Maasai are a Nilotic ethnic group inhabiting southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. In most Masaai tribes, people are pious regardless of gender, age and background. Religion is one of the most important elements of their day-to-day life. Regardless of its simple setup and humble condition, the church functions as the heart of the tribe as people perform ritual and pray devoutly.
