Trans World Radio Africa

Women

Many African women face legal, economic and social constraints. They face inequality in education, work, health and within their families. About two-thirds of Africa’s illiterates are women. More than 90 million African women and girls are victims of female circumcision or other forms of genital mutilation.

In many countries women face a significant threat of violence and abuse and are often at higher risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. TWR’s programmes minister to women and offer love and hope through Jesus Christ.

Project Hannah’s Women of Hope is popular in many countries.
Project Hannah prayer groups meet regularly to intercede for women and their countries.
Other women’s programmes include interviews, discussions and testimonies that instruct and encourage women.

Reaching Beyond Barriers - Radio Programmes for West Africa

Many in West Africa cling to hope in fetishes or their local witchdoctor to save them, help them or heal their deepest needs. Others depend on the ways of their local religious beliefs to carry them through dark times. But fear permeates much of their lives.

Reaching across barriers of darkness, fear and hopelessness, TWR is engaging people of West Africa with breakthrough radio programmes that bring peace to a potential audience of more than 190 million. Relevant, culturally sensitive programmes bring hope to the seeker, encouragement to the new believer and training for the seasoned Christian.

Oral learners, mothers and pastors are among the many people being reached through radio programmes such as Women of Hope, Salvation and Evangelism and Light and Life. People groups that have had little access to the gospel are hearing refreshing words for their soul in their own languages. The Kanuri, Yoruba, Fulfulde, Lukpa, Hausa and other people groups are listening.

“Your messages are undiluted,” says a West African pastor. “Where we miss the point, TWR is doing it.”

Your gift of R 100.00 per month (or whatever you decide) can keep these programmes on air.
