Community radio reconstruction
Caldas and Chocó
Let the voices from the territory be heard.
For Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities, radio is fundamental to daily life: it brings people together, raises emergency alerts, helps preserve language and carries the stories of elders. Today we can help bring stations back on air and strengthen others operating provisionally.
