Voice of Freedom FM, a community radio station in Magwi, Central Equatoria State, South Sudan, covers everything from local and international news to original programming on conflict resolution, the rights of children, women and persons with disabilities. Or at least it did, until basic maintenance issues forced the station to close in early 2015.
Situated on a 100 x 100 meter plot of land and with a 60-meter mast donated by the county commissioner, Voice of Freedom, which broadcasts in five different languages, has largely been dependent on resources donated by the community – such as volunteer time and story leads.
