Start a station
Become our partner and start a REF FM station in a refugee camp! And help refugees and host communities to get their own radio station with which they can improve their lives and living standards.
Is your organization already (pro-)actively doing well on the spot in a refugee camp? Does the camp have more than 50,000 residents (listeners)? Is there no community-based radio station by/for refugees in the camp yet?
Let us help you start your own station!Large organisations such as UNHCR have gone before you. But also smaller organisations such as Action Africa Help International, FilmAid Kenya and HAF-Uganda.
"AS A PRESENTER REF FM MEANS GIVING A VOICE TO PEOPLE, STORIES AND MUSIC THAT MAY NOT ALWAYS FIND SPACE IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA."

We help refugees (and host communities) to establish and run their own community based radio station in their refugee camp. To give them a voice and the power to change their lives.
You can help by volunteering on the spot or at a distance; by advertsing on their radio; and/or by investing in a new station that will then become financially selfsustainable within one year after its start.
