Daza in Chad

Daza men occasionally find steady work in towns or cities. Daza women work at home and are responsible for cooking and cleaning. Income is primarily received from selling animals. Daza men wear loose-fitting draw-string pants under long-sleeved robes. Their clothing is usually white, and they often wear turbans or small Muslim caps. Daza women traditionally wear long, wrap-around dresses and head coverings. Although Daza women are not required to wear veils, they often wear them for protection against the sun, dust or cold weather. Daza society is male-dominated. Marriages are often arranged, and gifts are exchanged between the families. Most Daza draw their water from wells. It is often not very clean. Christian workers with the right equipment and skills could help them with their water needs.

Ministry Obstacles

We are not aware of any Christ followers among the Daza of Chad. They need to hear the gospel from someone outside their culture.
