Radio Tumaini

Radio Tumaini is the Catholic Archdiocese of Mombasa's community radio station, broadcasting in Swahili to listeners in Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale and Taita Taveta counties. Tumaini means hope, and the station's programmes centre on faith, family and community life at the Coast.

Archbishop Martin Kivuva launched it in September 2016 at the Bura shrine in Taita Taveta. Launching in Taita Taveta, rather than in Mombasa city, matched the station's brief to cover all four of its target counties, from the island to the inland parishes.

Radio Tumaini is part of the growing family of diocesan Catholic stations in Kenya, alongside stations such as Radio Waumini in Nairobi, Mitume Radio in Kitale and Radio Jangwani in Marsabit.

There is one point to check before you tune in. At the 2016 launch the frequency was given as 93.0 FM, but 92.9 FM has also been reported. The two numbers are close enough that most radios will find the station either way, but we have recorded both until the current figure is confirmed. We have not confirmed any presenters or programme names, so none are listed here.

Tune to around 93.0 FM at the Coast, or stream Radio Tumaini live on this page.
