Radio Clubs
Galcom Radios Provided for Radio Club for the Blind
There are over 300 organized radio clubs established throughout DR Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. Each radio club ranges from 10 to 800 members. Each club is organized around one or more solar-powered Galcom radios that are pre-tuned to Radio Kahuzi's frequencies either in FM or Shortwave. Each of the clubs gather together to listen to Gospel music, and Bible teaching, as well as health and development programs that encourage them to participate in social work in their respective communities to improve the quality of life for themselves as well as their neighbors. The radio clubs have specific projects that they work on to improve their communities, such as digging ditches, building bridges, assisting the local Kohorozo and Panzi Health Centers with providing for the malnourished.
Each radio club elects a president who works directly with Radio Kahuzi staff to minister to their respective clubs. Each month, the club president will travel to Radio Kahuzi to bring notebooks filled with testimonies of their members, as well as prayer and song requests. Their messages are read on the air to give each an opportunity to testify of their faith in Jesus Christ and sometimes to even find family members separated by war.
Radio Kahuzi assists club members in preparing handmade items for sale in the open markets to help provide for the physical needs of their club members.
