We investigate the sedimentation of a cloud of rigid, spherical particles of identical radii under gravity in a Stokes fluid. Both inertia and rotation of particles are neglected. We consider the homogenization limit of many small particles in the case of a dilute system in which interactions between particles are still important. In the relevant time scale, we rigorously prove convergence of the dynamics to the solution of a macroscopic equation. This macroscopic equation resembles the Stokes equations for a fluid of variable density subject to gravitation.
