Bimbia, Where Our History Lives On. Discover the roots of our people,
the echoes of our past, and the hope for our future.
Our People, History, Culture and the Preservation of the Slave Site.
Bimbia is more than a place; it is a living testament to the resilience and heritage of our people. Nestled along the African coast, Bimbia served as a pivotal port in the transatlantic slave trade during the 1400s, where slaves and goods were exchanged between the natives and European traders such as the Portuguese and Spanish. Today, the relics of this dark chapter are preserved as a reminder of our shared history.

Our Rich Culture
The Bimbia culture, history and tradition, although rich, is not often practiced and is mostly oral. The predominant Isubu history holds that the group hails from Mboko, the area southwest of Mount Cameroon. Tradition makes them the descendants of Isuwu na Monanga, who led their migration to the west bank. When a descendant of Isuwu named Mbimbi became king, the people began to refer to their territories as Bimbia.
Let's Preserve Our Heritage
Bimbia is more than a historical site—it’s a gateway to understanding the resilience, culture, and contributions of African people to global history. Preserving this unique heritage requires collective effort. With your support we will be able to:
a) Resuscitate the Bimbia language through plays, audio, stories, history etc
b) support the publication of the bible in Bimbia and its use;
c) support the creation of a museum in the village to showcase past and present activities as well as the history and culture.
