Public Communication
Radio is the primary source of news for the typical Ugandan.
Regular electricity in the villages or towns does not even exist. Even in the larger cities the power is often off several days a week.
The populace depends on charcoal fires to cook. The use of TV or Internet is out of the question unless one goes to an Internet Bar/Club to pay for time on the internet or watch TV.
Therefore dry cell radios are how the majority of Ugandan people get the news and current events.
Our Audience
Our audience is young. The average age in Uganda is 15.5 years, with a life expectancy of about 53 years. HIV/AIDS has decimated the adult population because few can afford treatment. As a consequence there are thousands of orphans, as the typical family unit is being devastated.
Faith Radio Coverage
Faith Radio 90.5 FM is heard in 16 districts of Eastern Uganda and portions of Kenya.
Faith Radio covers over 10‐12 million people with hope and encouragement.
Christians are encouraged and the lost hear the Good News of Jesus Christ!
