This project will work with children from various backgrounds, including refugees and excombatants, to produce a weekly children's radio program on children's issues in the Dem. Republic of Congo.
The DRC’s war has had a devastating effect on the country’s youth. Young people are largely without opportunities for livelihood or education; many have been enrolled in armed groups and others are still at risk of recruitment. With the peace process in progress, thousands of children now have to be resettled in their communities. This project’s radio program, produced by children for children, will address war’s effects on children and will look at issues affecting young people every day.
We provide recorders, journalism training, and supervision for a group of youth to produce a weekly radio program on war’s effects on children. The children gather interviews and provide their perspective on issues of importance to their lives.
Children meet other children who have been similarly affected by war. These shared experiences allow them to recover and move forward with their lives.
War has destroyed children’s stability, tearing apart families and isolating children. This project allows children to talk of their experiences and discuss their hopes and concerns about the future.
