Expanding voices: Empowering communities through local radio
Ethiopia faces hurdles in accessing inclusive mainstream media due to diverse communities, language barriers, and low literacy rates, especially in rural areas.

Community radio empowers youth to select their own spouses
High financial demands from parents have prevented young individuals in Ethiopia’s Kore community from marrying freely, often leaving them indebted and without homes. With support from Fojo, Kore Community Radio FM 92.3 initiated a mentorship program.

Increased dialogue has gradually granted Kore’s youth the autonomy to select their own partners.
