The poor people who work in the popular markets of the city produce and transmit their own radio programs from their places of work.
Poor people working in the markets of Cochabamba do not have the opportunity to let society know their necessities and demands. Through the microphones of radio, society learns of the poor people’s needs and is compelled to help improve their life conditions. The radio is the scene of encounter between people who wish to help needy people. The beneficiaries of this activity are about 50,000 poor people who work in the popular markets of the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia.
The poor workers use the microphones to express their necessities to society. The radio provides a nurse, doctor and lawyer for citizens and organizes advanced training courses in the necessary areas (health, education, etc.).
The main goal is for poor people working in the popular markets to improve their education, health, work and respect for their human rights through use of the radio.
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
