Tama in Chad

TAH-mah

The Tama in Chad are in the Guereda and Biltine prefectures. They also live in the Darfur region of Sudan. Many from there have fled to other parts of Sudan or into Chad. There is a heavy military presence in the region. Extreme poverty and lack of hope means that alcohol (millet beer) is a big problem for many Tama. Farming is very much at a subsistence level. Farming tasks are done by hand. There is rarely enough surplus to last a second year if the rains do not come.

Ministry Obstacles

The Tama are virtually all Muslim. They never challenge the works righteousness of Islam.
