Vox Radio
Vox Radio provides a platform where every voice in the community counts.
About Us
Vox Radio was formerly known as Amani FM which was inaugurated in 2017 with support from Amplifying Voices International. The radio’s mission was to foster peace among the communities in Tana River who had previously experienced violent inter-ethnic clashes during the 2012/13 electoral periods.
There was an urgent need for a local source of information, recognizing the potential harm caused by the spread of rumours in the absence of accurate and timely communication.
The evolution into Vox Radio is a testament to our commitment to bridging the information gap and contributing to long-lasting peace and sustainable development.
Provides a platform where every voice in the community counts.
