Meet Henry, Delivering Early Warning Messages For Early Action and Nurturing Passion Through Community Radio

About 10 kilometers away from the busy and bustle of Mbale town is the Bungokho sub-county. This has 68 villages, among them Nambiti village.  In a one-room building, a small community radio is the heartbeat of the Nambiti community. Nambiti Community Radio is not your typical everyday frequency radio. One solar panel is connected to it, delivering power to one battery that powers the radio. Three megaphones are hoisted outside on a tall metallic pole. The waves through the megaphones travel over 300 meters within the village to whoever can hear them. You do not need a radio to tune in. The radio, run by volunteer presenters, is a perfect symbol of passion, commitment, and effort to save lives.
