Our history
Farm Radio International was founded by celebrated CBC farm radio broadcaster, George Atkins in 1979 and has grown and developed into one of Canada’s top rated charities, helping countless people over several decades.
We make every dollar count
Last year 87% of the money we received was used to fund our core programs.
Only 7% was used on administration and 6% on fundraising efforts.
We are making an impact
In 2019-2020 alone we were able to reach about 13 million people across rural Africa with life-changing information.
We helped 2.7 million of them make a positive change.
This was all possible because of generous donations from people like you, who want to make a difference.
We are focused
At Farm Radio International we want to make the biggest impact possible on the lives of people in rural Africa. To accomplish this, we have three key areas of focus:
- Creating and distributing radio resources that help rural radio broadcasters better serve their listeners.
- Running radio projects that improve the lives of people in rural Africa.
- Pioneering radio innovations that make radio even more effective and interactive.
