About Community Radio

Radio is a social medium, fostering participation and engagement, in people’s own home languages. Radio goes where newer technologies can’t. Beyond electricity, beyond a mobile signal.

It reaches rich and poor alike: Educated, uneducated, young. old. Every tribe, every region, each gender and race. Programs are broadcast in local languages whether it’s nutrition information for mothers, medical updates for health workers, how to avoid a viral infection during an outbreak, conservation farming for farmers, or school lessons for children.
