Empowering rural and isolated communities through community radio development in India
Our vision is to help isolated and/or economically disadvantaged communities set up and run participatory, not-for-profit, sustainable broadcast media, i.e. community radio, as a tool for social and cultural unification, self-development, empowerment and positive social change.
Working with these communities, we will focus on their needs and by raising awareness, training & capacity building and overall support, demonstrate how the simple medium of radio, can help fulfill these needs. We will further promote universal development goals in gender equality, public health, the right to education, right to information, welfare and employment and will operate on the basic principles of cooperation, open participation and innovation.
