Organization's Mission

Fondation Hirondelle, Media for Peace and Human Dignity, is a global nonprofit based in Switzerland that provides information that is impartial and relevant in crisis zones and post-conflict situations. Our radio stations provide daily live news and information programming that is broadcast nationally through FM, SW, satellite feeds, and community radio stations. Transmitting the know-how to run a high-quality radio station constitutes our daily task.

Organization's Programs

Fondation Hirondelle is known for its ability to quickly build high-caliber radio stations in complicated crisis zones and post-conflict situations, often in partnership with the UN. Presently we have six projects in Africa, including five independent news and information radio stations and one press agency. The largest stations are in Sudan (Radio Miraya) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Radio Okapi), two of the three largest nations in Africa.
