From Skills to Self-Reliance

The TibaKalanga Festival is more than a celebration. It is also a space where practical skills, cultural knowledge and local creativity can become pathways to confidence, self-reliance and opportunity.

Through the TGSCCC Women & Youth Empowerment Workshops, participants develop skills in sewing, dressmaking, beadmaking, basketry and other forms of practical craft.

These are not simply activities for the Festival weekend. They are skills that can strengthen confidence, create income pathways and help people build greater independence within their own communities.

When skills are shared, craft is valued and local talent is given room to grow, opportunity becomes possible.

From Skills to Self-Reliance. Join us at the TibaKalanga Festival on 19 and 20 December 2026 in Gala, Bulilima.
