Crowdfunding since 2010

Ntombi-Langa radio project creates a dynamic platform for investigating issues affecting women in South Sahara Africa broadcasting from Bremen

A radio is Africa’s sucessful means of commuication in urban and rural communities. Nine out of ten households have a radio that cuts across barriers of illiteracy, lack of internet, no access to television, and out of reach of newspapers. A radio has become a means of rapid dissemination of crucial information to rural communities dominated by women and girl-children. The choice of radio project is informed by the need to transform lives of women in South Sahara Africa.

What is this project all about?

http://www.startnex/ntombi-langa-radio.de[/url]
Our crown funding campaign is a means to generate capital to set up a radio station that will broadcast women-specific educational themes related to South-Sahara Africa (SSA), broadcasting from Bremen.
In rural settings, listening to a radio is the most important source of information for the exchange of a variety of knowledge on education, health, poverty elimination, and diverse gender-sensitive themes and climate change.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

http://www.startnext/ntombi-langa.radio.de
The aims and objectives of this radio project are as follows:
-to strengthen the social position of women and girls and to establish a reliable platform for women in South Sahara Africa.
-the programmes are intended to provide information on health care: Covid-19, HIV/AIDS, protection against unwanted pregnancies and other chronic diseases.
-encourage women to fight for jender justice and human rights, and the right to self-determination on girl-circumcision.
-provide information on economic opportunities and gender equality.
-through the radio project, women and journalists from different countries can share their experiences and stories to promote the much desired transformation in gender roles and gender equality.
-The news about African women and selected programmes on women and girls will be broadcast to all countries in the SSA and can also be received globally.
-Recipients and programm producers are women, but men are also addressed and participate too.
-Africa's future is female because 70% of poverty in Africa is experienced by women. Therefore the themes about poverty reduction and elimination should be the main focus of Ntombi-Langa radio programmes.
-The radio will make special contributions for women and girls: a forum for women, a platform for women, where gender-sensitive themes are openly discussed. -successful women's programmes are emphasized as they aim to strengthen the role-model position of women and girl-children.
--through experience we know how much role the radio in SSA can play and the impact in communities it can have.
"Let the woman have a chance to voice her mind, give the woman a platform to share what she has."

Why would you support this project?

http://www.startnext/ntombi-langa.radio.de
"Assist us so that we can help ourselves" is our appeal. The radio project is an absolute joker and unique for several reasons:
-Traditions and cultures challenge women and girls in South Sahara Africa to live and reach their potential. -However, the radio assists to change the narrative that women are subordinates of men.
-Ntombi-Langa radio platform gives rural women communities the opportunity to learn to determine their own lives. 70% of women in SSA countries live in extreme poverty and economic dependence on patriarchal structures.
-A radio is a platform where information will be shared on how to eradicate and eliminate poverty.
-Migration: Ntombi-Langa radio is a platform that will inform young women about the dangers of migration. -Dozens of women have perished in the Sahara Desert. -Some of them have been captured and sold as slaves in North -African Slave markets.
-Information is necessary to alert women about the dangers of migration: information on radio can reach out to millions of young women and keep them out of imminent danger.
- Nine out of ten households in the participating countries have a radio.
- Important information is possible through the culture of listening, information is shared and exchanged in societies.
-Women from diverse societies bring their experiences to light through radio, can articulate transformations in traditional gender roles and gender equality.
-The radio acts on different levels as an engine with the aim of realizing societal transformations.
-Larger marginalized societies in rural areas can only be reached by radio.
-The Ntombi-Langa radio provides a forum for discussions by female journalists from different countries. They can network and exchange information on gender-sensitive themes.
