Yes, we are finally here at the Dzaleka Refugee Camp and able to personally meet There is Hope’s (TIH) founder Innocent Magambi and his amazing team. After a long journey we received an incredibly warm welcome by our grassroots partner There is Hope Malawi. Due to our productive and regular conversations with them before the trip, our predefined schedule and good organization on the part of TIH we have been able start with our work straight away and make significant progress in the development phase of our upcoming film.
This means that by day 2 we have already met with refugees, whose story best reflect the tremendous work of There is Hope and demonstrate the positive impact the education, vocational training, leadership and social enterprise programs of TIH have on a refugee’s life at Dzaleka Refugee Camp.
The aim of this trip is to select the story that will later be documented by HOME Storytellers and to create visual content for a pitch.
Our upcoming film project will help our grassroots partner provide more access to education for refugees in Malawi so that they can continue to move towards self-reliance. Every dollar invested in this film will result in approximately 10 dollars incremental funding for There is Hope's education programs in the Dzaleka Refugee Camp Malawi.
Thank you for helping us making this film possible! This documentary will dramatically increase awareness and program fundraising to amplify the positive transformation that There is Hope is already generating in the lives of refugees at Malawi's largest refugee camp, Dzaleka.
