Utawaleza Malawi is a community organisation that aims to promote creativity, self-expression and imagination through literature, arts and culture for the creative development of young people in Malawi.

This has been done through the establishment of a Book Club and Book Bank in four cities across Malawi; creating a platform for self-expression through our Sharing Sessions; and shaping cultural research through the Imagine Immensities Creative Research program.

Our objectives are to:

• Nurture a culture of reading in young Malawians and promote African literature.
• Empower creatives through self-expression and collaboration.
• Amplify the work of women and non-binary creatives.
• Explore and preserve Malawian culture through creative research and collaborative storytelling.

Our work is guided by feminist values firmly rooted in the principles of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion to create a safe space for all.
