The LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) is one of the most brutal groups on the planet, responsible for abducting over 30,000 children and turning them into child soldiers, raping, maiming and murdering many more in the 25 year old conflict which is Africa's longest running war. The Voice Project has been working with United Nations in building FM radio stations as well as helping with the production of broadcast content for the stations, recording family members and ex-combatants that have returned home safely, and songs in their native Acholi letting them know they can come home. Recent UN debriefings from the increasing number of ex-combatants who are defecting and surrendering show that for well over 50% the main factor in deciding to escape and surrender has been the recent FM radio broadcast programs encouraging them to come home. Right now there is a rare opportunity for increased FM radio coverage, messaging and music to help bring home many more soldiers who have been abducted and forced to fight, and to try and help to end Africa's longest running and most brutal war. Your donations help build new stations, expand existing radio stations and to buy and deploy mobile FM radio broadcast units to cover the large uncovered “dead coverage space” in DR Congo and Central African Republic, as well as to produce programming and build local capacity to record and broadcast peace messages and "come home" songs encouraging the safe return of the abducted.
Donations to The Voice Project allow us to continue programs like this that are making a real difference on the ground.
