El Molo

With only about 800 people, the El Molo people from Kenya are struggling to survive. This smallest ethnic group, living on the south-eastern shore of Lake Turkana, are living a rather isolated life after years of conflict with other ethnic groups.

Fishing is their main source of livelihood and their native language is almost dead. Tourism is, however, reviving their economic situation as many come to El Molo for their native crafts and arts.
