Story

Hello and thanks for visiting the Community Media 4 Kenya 2022/23 page. CM4K is raising funds to build a community radio station in Cham gi Wadu a marginalised rural community in the heart of the Nyanza region of Kenya.

It provides a cost-effective means of communication for rural people and is the technology most commonly found in Kenyan homes.

Elderly men at homesteads sit in the sun in the morning with portable radios placed
