Community radio stations support Story Powered Schools project

Radio stations broadcasting to rural areas in the Eastern Cape and Kwazulu-Natal will be producing children's stories in both home languages and English as part of their regular programming as of March 2017. These radio stations include Inkonjane FM, Good News Community Radio, Ugu Youth Radio, Radio Sunny South, Radio Khwezi and Link FM.

The broadcasts will be in support of the Nal'ibali campaign's new Story Powered Schools project, which was launched at the start of the new school year by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to bring literacy development to rural schools. The project will be working with a total of 720 schools over a three-year period in the Ugu and Uthukela districts in KwaZulu-Natal and the Maluti and Bizana districts in the Eastern Cape.
