Introduction / History

Masis speak Mashi, one of the many Bantu languages. Their homeland is in three southern African countries, Namibia, Angola, and Zambia, where they have their largest population.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Masis are still largely nomadic. They are very adept at living in a harsh environment with little food or water.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Most adhere to traditional beliefs, especially in Angola. There is a Christian presence among them, but it is mostly Roman Catholic in Angola. In Namibia and Zambia, there is a more powerful Evangelical presence.

What Are Their Needs?

Nomadic tribes face several challenges. Their small numbers mean they are politically marginalized. Their lifestyle makes it difficult for them to have adequate medical care or schooling.
