ABOUT US
Radio Kwizera, popularly known as 'RK', is a community Radio with over 10.3 million listeners in the Great Lakes Region of Africa including those online. The Radio is an Apostolate of Society of Jesus from the Province of Eastern Africa. Radio Kwizera broadcasts in Swahili, English, French and Kirundi. The radio covers approximately 800-900 sq Kms, i.e., most parts of Kagera, Kigoma, Geita, Shinyanga and Mwanza regions of northwestern and southwestern Tanzania ; the eastern parts of Rwanda, Burundi and Uvira Region of DR Congo.
Radio Kwizera was established by Jesuit Refugee Service 12, 1995 for over 25 years. And a central aspect of community radio's work since its inception has been to provide a means by which communities can dialogue with themselves. And thanks to the broadcast of quality programming, the radio listener base has grown from 5 million in 2005 to more than 10 million in 2023. A number of people from the five regions of northwestern Tanzania (Mwanza, Geita, Shinyanga, Kigoma and Kagera) love listening to Radio Kwizera because of the accurate access to information the Radio provides. This has lured a number of the Radio listeners to be content creators for themselves.

An Internship Experience
AYUBU AMOS
I am a student at the University of Iringa. I have gained a lot of experience since I began my internship programme at JRS Radio Kwizera. For instance, I have known how to edit sound and how different radio programmes are planned.I have also learnt how to record using different types of modern day voice recorders. This has given me a vast experience in my journalism career. In fact, this is good evidence that I am putting well my theory into practice since my arrival at Radio Kwizera FM studios in Ngara, Kagera region.With my little knowledge in photography and videography, I look forward to building it up by working smartly so as to see Kwizera TV move a step forward in video, sound quality and content production.★ ★ ★ ★ ★
