Archdiocese of Mombasa launches Radio Tumaini

Mombasa Archbishop, Martin Kivuva, this week, presided over the launch of Radio Tumaini at Our Lady of Good Hope Pilgrimage, Bura Shrine. Tumaini comes hot on the heels of Radio Mchungaji in Kenya’s Catholic Diocese of Mararal launched in August.  

Addressing the faithful gathered at the shrine, Archbishop Kivuva welcomed the new radio station as a tool for evangelization in the Archdiocese of Mombasa.

 “Radio Tumaini ni mwanga wetu (Radio Tumaini is our light), it represents a tool for spreading Christ’s message of hope. We are happy, and we will journey together and look forward (to the future) with hope,” Archbishop Kivuva said. He continued, “Through Radio Tumaini, our objective is to cover the whole archdiocese by targeting the four counties of Kilifi, Taita Taveta, Kwale and Mombasa,” he outlined.

Radio Tumaini will broadcast in KiSwahili on the 93.0 FM frequency. The Archbishop thanked the technical team led by Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) Waumini Communications Managing Director David Omwoyo for working tirelessly to realise the dream of Radio Tumaini.

 Also, present at the event were Taita Taveta Governor, John Mruttu and several other civic leaders.
