People
Who they are
The Gbe Ci live in the municipality of Lalo, in the department of Couffo, Benin. Their language, also called Tchi, belongs to the Gbe group and is closely related to Fon. A study published in 2011 found a preference for literacy instruction in Ci, although most people were open to programs in Fon. Most of the people identify as Christian, while others follow traditional religions.
