Vijana FM (“Youth FM” in Swahili) is a platform for visual, audio, or print content. The content is primarily produced by the youth, and for the youth in East Africa. We facilitate digital publishing for authors and partner organizations. Together, we develop content strategies that aim to strengthen the representation of young people in the media.
The objective:
To be a media-based platform that youth can use to share, exchange, and develop ideas for sustainable development in East Africa.
Our values:
We do what we do because, before anything, we deeply value sustainable social entrepreneurship. We believe great things can come out of people starting small-scale, localized, and sustainable initiatives that not only target profits, but target the improvement in quality of life.
Vijana FM also believes in the power of informal education. We define “informal education” as the process of acquiring knowledge through human experience, collaboration, and interaction not necessarily in structured environments.
