Missions & Global Prayer

The Habbania, a subgroup of the Baggara, live a nomadic lifestyle. Each year, they move their herds south to the river lands during the dry season and north to the grasslands during the rainy season. Before changing locations, the Habbania usually plant sorghum, sesame, millet, and beans in their fields, harvesting the crops on their return. The Baggara live in simple, portable dome-shaped tents built by the women. Married women own the tents and their household contents. The men build a sun shelter either inside or just outside of the camp.
