Introduction / History

The Hya people speak a language by the same name. Few of the older generation speak French, they say that only the younger people are able. The adults are very happy for the youth to speak French since they live in a francophone country, and they need French to communicate with outsiders. They live in Cameroon.

What Are Their Lives Like?

The area in which the village is located is difficult to access. During the dry season, a four-wheel drive vehicle is needed to reach them. During the rainy season, the roads are considered impassable, and they are cut off from most other villages.

What Are Their Beliefs?

The Hya people are mostly Catholics. They use the Psikye Bible in church for all aspects of the church service.

What Are Their Needs?
