The Njemps of Kenya, numbering approximately 42,500 people, are Engaged yet Unreached. They are a Maa-speaking people of Lake Baringo's south shore, properly called Ilchamus, meaning people who see into the future, with disputed origins traced to either an 18th-century Samburu offshoot or survivors of an Il-Oikop Maasai group defeated by the Ilkapi. They mostly adhere to Animism and Samburu is their primary language.
