The Eastern Krahn of Liberia

The Eastern Krahn of Liberia, numbering approximately 94,500 people, are Engaged yet Unreached. They are a Kru-speaking people who migrated onto Liberia's Grain Coast from Ivory Coast in the early 1500s amid upheavals following the collapse of western Sudanese empires, forming the eastern branch of the broader Krahn, also called Wee. They mostly adhere to Ethnoreligion and Eastern Krahn is their primary language.
