New Hope – Juharabad, Pakistan
Amplifying Voices Pakistan helped a youth group in Juharabad, in Punjab province of Pakistan, to run a pilot community-centred media project.
The young people from a local church formed the New Hope project hoping to improve living conditions and address social issues in their community. Amplifying Voices Pakistan provided community-centred media training and mentoring support to the youth group and their pastor who operated the pilot for approximately one year.
Pilot activities:
- The New Hope team began making short audio programmes for distribution on WhatsApp and later for FM broadcast.
- Media topics included family life, Eid, local success stories, alcohol abuse and more.
- New Hope collaborated with Rescue Service 1122 to provide first aid training to the team and to community members.
- A small number of more vulnerable families, who have no access to WhatsApp, were given Speakerboxes to listen to the programmes.
