Finding our Voice

Vox Radio was formerly known as Amani FM which was inaugurated in 2017 with support from Amplifying Voices International.

Tana River County faces numerous challenges, including inter-ethnic violence, extremism, poverty, and natural disasters such as floods and droughts.

In the face of these challenges, access to reliable information becomes crucial for making informed decisions and building resilient communities.

Youth and Women Empowerment
Peacebuilding
Economic empowerment

Communities across Tana River County now have a common platform where they can discuss their concerns, share their hopes and hold those in authority to account.
