Religious Communities
The Kilimanjaro region was evangelised by some of the earliest missionaries to East Africa, in particular Lutherans and Roman Catholics. Most of these came from Germany, and made a significant impact on various areas of the region. There are several historical sites which bear witness to this early missionary activity (see Day Trips).
As a result, a large percentage of the population has some kind of affiliation to a church denomination. In recent decades many other denominations have taken root here.
