Language:The people of Marale speak a local language called Lumasaba. The name Marale was given to the village because of a large rock that lies near the main road that runs through their village.
Economy: The people here are mostly subsistence farmers. They grow beans, maize, cassava, millet, and sorghum. A major problem for the people is preserving and selling the food they grow. This keeps them from progressing much as a village.
Climate and terrain: The region experiences a long dryspell from November to March and then has intermittent rainy and dry periods throughout the rest of the year. The terrain is largely short grass savanna with a small forrest to the west. The lack of cover from the savanna provides the area with lots and lots of sunshine. Despite this, the heat is typically mild, rarely reachin more than 90 degrees Farenheit.
Community: There are many local gatherings in the community including the market, the football (US soccer) pitch, the borehole (water source), and the curches. There are three local churches including two Christian Churches, and a Seventh Day Adventist church. There is no health center or school system in Marale.
