Nyole men planting rice. (Uganda) The Nyole (Banyole) people live in southeast Uganda in an area of green, rolling grassland, surrounded and divided by papyrus-lined swamps. Most of them live in poverty and are farmers by trade.

Although a majority of the Banyole would call themselves Christian, their understanding of biblical truth is very limited, and they have not learned to trust God fully. The result is that they often turn to the local shaman and witchdoctors to solve their problems of hunger, poverty and sickness. This will all hopefully change as Bible translation progresses and literacy work increases.
