Next project: Radio Broadcasts
The next community health education project we would like to launch is a series of regular programmes on Radio Kolenten, the local radio station in Kambia District, to promote maternal and child health. The monthly programmes, which would be made in the four local languages of Kambia, could include panel discussions and phone-ins with local medical staff at the hospital, dramas, songs and comedies. Radio Kolenten is has a large listening audience across the district, including many of the villages in the remote rural areas, so health messages would reach a wide range of the Kambia community.
