WHY WORK WITH A COMMUNITY STATION?Your expertise.
Your expertise.
Our community connection.
Effective local projects begin with listening. Bus Radio can help your organisation understand local questions, explain its work in accessible language and make room for community feedback.
A voice people recognise
Broadcasting in Swahili and Maa, rooted in Kajiado Town and the everyday concerns of the communities we serve.
A conversation that goes both ways
Listener calls, studio discussions and field interviews give communities a part in shaping the conversation.
On air. On the ground.
We bring together radio storytelling, local knowledge and community engagement to support a project beyond a single broadcast.

Funded social impact partnerships are an important part of Bus Radio’s sustainability. Support can resource production, local-language storytelling, field engagement and the people who keep community radio on air. Together, we can agree a scope and budget that serves the project and sustains the local platform behind it.

Deliver and learn.
We start with the community and agree what success should mean before the work begins.
Understand the need
Discuss your goals, the communities involved, local context and the questions people want answered.
Design a practical plan
Agree the formats, languages, roles, timeline and budget, including the evidence and feedback we will collect.
Deliver, listen and review
Build in broadcast records, participation feedback and a project review. Set outcome measures that fit the work, without treating airtime as proof of social change.
