Unreached People: Datooga
The Datooga are an unreached people group of central Tanzania. Although scattered across this region of Tanzania, their homeland seems to be centred near Mount Hanang, a mountain that they consider sacred and which plays an important role in their songs and myths.

They are proud of their culture and see no reason to change. Few children go to school and illiteracy is common.
