THANK YOU!!!

Tri4DRC

We are so grateful to you for supporting our triathlon team to raise money for “Umoja FM”, an amazing peacebuilding project in North Kivu in the DRC.  With your help and generosity we reached well over our target.

Amplifying Voices helped set up the Umoja (Unity) station in 2016 and when two of our team members visited there recently, they were blown away by the impact this station has had since then.  Visiting different communities in the region, they heard many stories of how Umoja FM has become a life-line and seen them through war, Ebola, a refugee crisis and the pandemic.

Your generous support will go towards helping Amplifying Voices:

  • Rebuild their studio, which has been damaged by weather, war and termites (£20,000) – see below
  • Develop a solar-powered FM relay station to reach more communities with little or no access to reliable information (£15,000)
  • Purchase two motor-bikes to help the team reach inaccessible areas (£2,000)
  • Support regular community-engagement across the region (£1,000)
  • Conduct training and monitoring visits (£7,000)
