Widows in Luoland

Mr George Pile

The Luo tribe is a Nilotic people group who live along the Lake Victoria region in Western Kenya. The tribe numbers approximately 3.3 million.

Culturally, the Luo people represent a complex, intricate and intriguing worldview that arouses both the intellectual and religious curiosity of the societal critic. Although the Christian faith reached this region almost a century ago, the Luo people still cling to some outdated customs, taboos and traditions which are opposed to the tenets of biblical Christianity.
