An appeal on the radio can become a practical connection between people who need support and people able to contribute. Feed the Needy is one example from Bus Radio’s community work.
The initiative, organised with local partners, brought food and other essentials to children’s homes in Kajiado County, with children’s centres, community partners and the station working together.
Donations of food, clothing and other essentials came alongside the work of mobilising community participation, with local partners gathering around that shared effort.
The story reflects an approach to community media that includes listening, organising and making local needs visible — and it depends on the participation of the wider community.
