About the Festival

Tumaini Festival was founded in 2014 and it has been developed and delivered by refugees and Malawians, which uses entertainment and artistic expression, to promote intercultural harmony, mutual understanding, and peaceful co-existence. 

The Festival is the first large-scale cultural event within a refugee camp, created and run by refugees in collaboration with the host community.

Tumaini Festival has represented a unique opportunity for refugees to share aspects of their lives with interested visitors, to exhibit and sell their crafts, and to feel the hope of connecting to a wider community. Tumaini Festival has become a community celebration that residents of Dzaleka appreciate as their event, which they are looking forward to and want to see happen regularly

Entrance to all events will be free of charge!
