Introduction / History

The Ndali people live in the southwestern mountain plateau of Tanzania near the town of Mbeya and to the south toward the border with Malawi in Mbozi and Tukuyu Districts northwest of Lake Malawi. Most live in Tanzania but some are in Malawi.


What Are Their Lives Like?

Like other groups in this area they raise dairy cattle and are known for a special process which allows them to keep fermented milk for up to 20 days.


What Are Their Beliefs?

The Moravians first came to this area in the late 1800s. There is now a Moravian seminary in Mbeya where Ndali leaders have been trained. There is also some RC work in this area. There has been a lot of linguistic research done of this group recently.PRGR


What Are Their Needs?

With a high level of education and an interest in spiritual matters, what is needed now is a full Bible translation and someone to spread the good news to those who still lack a relationship wit Jesus Christ.


Prayer Items
