Saving lives through the power of radio
This is more than just radio. In rural Africa, it's a life line!
Why radio?
Radio is still the world's most popular mass medium, easily accessible to even the most remote African villages. It is accessible, convenient, inexpensive, and interactive.
Radio is powerful
Radio has the power to reach hundreds of millions of African farmers with life-changing information.
Listening to quality radio programs helps small-scale African farmers enjoy better harvests, improve their health and create a brighter future.
Radio gets results
According to studies, up to 40% of Farm Radio listeners make a positive change to their farming practices as a result of listening to one of our programs.
The radio shows and services that we support help tens of millions of farmers enjoy a better life through their own hard work and determination.
