About us
Who we are
The difference media can make
Our aim is to inform, connect and empower people around the world.
We use all kinds of media and communication from mass media to face-to-face outreach as well as training and capacity building to tackle poverty and support long-term change in some of the poorest places in the world. The aim is to empower vulnerable and marginalised people to make informed choices and take action to make a lasting positive difference to their own lives. We have special expertise in working in fragile and conflict-affected societies where political, security or other factors mean that media is one of the few options available to reach and engage marginalised groups
Our work reaches over 200 million people in 28 countries across the world.
We’ve enabled Kenyans to question their leaders on TV and radio, produced an inspiring radio show made for and by the young people of Myanmar, and given health workers in the poorest parts of India life-saving training on their mobile phones.
We also support journalists and broadcasters around the world – through face-to-face training and mentoring and through our online platform, iLearn.
