They’ve done it! Our Amplifying Voices triathlon team in the UK is grateful for the very generous donations to support the valuable peace building work of Umoja FM in North Kivu.

Pemba district, one of few places in Southern Zambia without local radio, is ready for a new community radio station. Amplifying Voices and our partners are ready too.

After months of planning, Vox Radio is now live from Minjilla and also relaying to central Tana River from the regional capital, Hola. Meanwhile the launch of a new ICT initiative for the region is attracting national attention.

During a recent visit to North Kivu, communities told us how Umoja FM has been a lifeline for them during war and crises, while the team prepares for the next phase of the project.

Writing en route to our first visit in 5 years to Umoja FM in Nobili DRC, Jon & Johnny look ahead, while reflecting on this resilient station’s role through recent crises.

Listeners from the Soot Semee project in Northern Uganda have been helping us to understand how connection can be a key element of trauma recovery.

Audio programmes for South Sudanese refugees are proving instrumental in raising up new community leaders in Omugo Zone, northern Uganda.

Tana River’s Vox Radio team receives recognition for its contribution to peace-building, as plans take shape for the region’s first ICT hub.

Although Soot Semee started off as a peacebuilding project, its programmes don’t stop at conflict prevention. They enable an environment where people can flourish. So what does peace look like for community members?

Following the amazing impact of our peace building project in eastern Kenya, Amplifying Voices and the Amani Centre are about to embark on our most ambitious journey yet…
