Central African Republic (CAF)

The Central African Republic is a land of rainforests, savannas, and the mighty Ubangi River. Its people are skilled in woodcarving, basketry, and storytelling, with a strong sense of village solidarity. Christianity is the majority faith, but traditional beliefs remain influential, especially in rural areas. Spiritual life is often centered on both church services and ancestral rituals, with music and dance bridging the two worlds.
