Introduction / History

They don't share the same language as neighboring groups, although many of them can use Makhuwa in the main villages for communication and trade. There are cultural similarities with some differences in rituals and family customs. There are only some differences in the way the local traditional leadership is organized. A "Regulo" is the traditional local leader.
They live in the Angoche District and in the coastal area of the Angoche Island. There is also one community in the city of Nampula.


What Are Their Lives Like?

Their subsistence activities are agriculture, trading and fishing.


What Are Their Beliefs?

The majority are Muslim, and a minority are Christian. There is no syncretism between Islam and Christianity, although both are mixed with animistic beliefs.


What Are Their Needs?

Their needs are in the areas of health, education and sustainable development.


Prayer Points

Pray for loving workers to go to the Koti people, and for their hearts to be ready to receive their savior.
Pray for families of believers loving and serving others to grow reproducing churches.
Pray for a chain reaction of families reaching families that result in thousands of new disciples who share their faith with others.
Pray for grace and truth expanding into their entire society as all believers learn to love others.
