1 People and Language Detail Report Profile Year: 1998 Language Name: Ngumbi ISO Language Code: nui The Kombe of Equatorial Guinea The Kombe people live primarily on the coast of Equatorial Guinea along an 80 km stretch, from the city of Bata in the north to the city of Mbini in the south. They are peaceful fishers and hunter-gatherers. Historically, the Kombe are one of the 18 Ndowe tribal groups. Ndowe means: we united. They all live along the coast of EG and also along the coasts of Cameroon and Gabon. Their language is one of at least 16 Bantu languages in the Bongwe cluster. Possibly as a result of the prominence of the Kombe in favorable relationship with colonial powers, the name Kombe is often used in modern times to group up to ten of the less prominent Ndowe people groups. The language shift among these groups seems to be towards a more united Kombe language. ( Names of these groups are: Asonga, Bomudi, Yandye, Moganda, Bole, Ndama, Mooma, Bobenda, Mapanga, and Kombe. As a result of the colonization, the large majority of the Kombe are nominally Roman Catholic. But less than 3% have personally accepted the Gospel. The New Testament was translated in the mid 1900's and last published in There is a possible need for revision, as well as for educators (literacy and general), Church planting and evangelism. There are no full time missionaries among the Kombe people (1996) Primary Religion: Christian Roman Catholic Disciples (Matt 28.19): 2.5% Churches: 2 Scripture Status (Matt 28.20): New Testament Population (date): 4,000 (1996)

Patrilocal. Good relationships among all. Villages are controlled by village chiefs and by family authority. There is also a paramount chief. The coastal Ndowe groups tend to be monogamous. Typical Ndowe villages tend to be set a bit back from the beach, with one principal entrance/ exit path between the beach and the village. Traditionally the chief's hut is the first hut when you enter the village. Slow Integrated Depressed political and criminal level by government. Social misbehavior, first in the family, then in the village councils, lastly before the paramount chief. Birth and death, both day long events, marriage, Catholic fiesta celebrations, anniversaries of death. dance, swim, canoe races, soccer. wooden sculptures, masks, music, traditional dancing. limited < 20 minutes daily Very receptive Somewhat resistant They have long been open to help and relationships to the outside. Help the parents in every thing, care for younger siblings, cook from 8 years on, fish from 10 years on. Lack of education and especially for funds for higher education, drugs: opium, iboga root, lack of jobs and job training, aids. Spiritual outreach, basic education, training, jobs, higher education The government is open to receive help from those who are sincerely committed to helping, rather than exploiting in some way. There is an open door for professional teachers and health professionals to really help the Kombe people. Ideal situation for Hispanics who want to help and serve. There is a school in every village, most of the children go to school, most schools are more than 90% homogenous. A bilingual literacy program for the Kombe could have tremendous results in their educational advancement and progress in. Evaluated
