World Kiswahili Day by MTM – A Historic Celebration of Culture & Language!

We are incredibly proud that the United Nations declared 7th July as World Kiswahili Day, celebrating one of Africa’s most widely spoken languages, with over 250 million speakers across the globe!

In 2022, MTM Awards became the first UK-based organisation to observe this milestone, hosting a vibrant celebration in the United Kingdom, the first of its kind across Europe!
