Hello, my name is Libby and I'm a student at the University of Brighton. This year I'm taking a module called Community Project where we are working with Community Media 4 Kenya!

CM4K is raising funds to build a community radio station in Cham gi Wadu a marginalised rural community in the heart of the Nyanza region of Kenya. CM4K was approached by a collective of subsistence farmers and community groups from Cham gi Wadu requesting our help: 

1) to build a community radio station

2) to train local people to operate and sustain the radio station as a community resource. 

With the money raised here, we will buy a range of media equipment which we will take with us to Kenya in January to support the radio station! 

Radio in this community provides an essential lifeline to people in remote communities. It provides a cost-effective means of communication for rural people and is the technology most commonly found in Kenyan homes. Radio provides access to essential information to marginalised peoples in rural Kenya.
