The Kambole of Togo

The Kambole of Togo, numbering approximately 73,000 people, are Engaged yet Unreached. They are a Yoruboid community of northern Togo tracing its founding to a 14th-15th-century Ife hunter, Ode Amon, who migrated from Nigeria, keeping close linguistic ties to the Nago-Yoruba peoples despite living among the region's Gur-speaking majority. They mostly adhere to Folk Islam and Northern Nago is their primary language.
