ANAWA radio initiative

Many children with special needs in Malawi are often home bound. Oftentimes, they are left alone and have no access to information and activities related to their age and needs. There is no radio station especially dedicated to the children with special needs and their families, let alone inclusion on programmes on already established radio stations. Anawa FM intends to meet that need. It will enable children often left alone and isolated in all corners of Malawi to listen to a radio station, taylor made to their suffering and needs and offer a platform to share their experiences and even reach out to government officials and dedicated charities like Anawa to enable their needs to be addressed.

Anawa radio will offer information, emotional enrichment, and a more unique way of connecting those at home and isolated and alone with the greater society. It will also create an awareness to the wider population. In addition, it will reach out to professionals from different disciplines and backgrounds who might also be compelled to engage the children and offer their expertise advice and services
