In November, MADRE traveled to Nicaragua to deliver 200 new solar radios that your support helped to supply. As you know, these radios are not just for entertainment. Thanks to our soon-to-launch human rights radio program, they will be a vital lifeline for women confronting violence. That’s because our radio programs will broadcast information on the lifesaving, protective services available to survivors of abuse. Women will gain access to information on the shelters, medical care, legal services and more that our on-the-ground partners provide.
We are excited to report that the radios have been distributed to women in 115 communities along Nicaragua’s North Atlantic Coast. And that’s not all! We’ve just heard from our on-the-ground partners that we were able to purchase the equipment for our own radio station – we’re calling it Voices of Indigenous Women of the Wangki.
This is a huge achievement. Now that we have our own station, we no longer have to rent air time for our human rights programing. This means that we can broadcast more often and reach even more women facing life-threatening violence.
Thanks so much for making this lifesaving work possible!
