Fondation Hirondelle presents two testimonies from listeners in Niger on the role of Studio Kalangou in their lives:

Mariami Bellaizé shares what she learns on Studio Kalangou.

Hazida Yoni, director of an orphanage, was interviewed on Studio Kalangou and shares the impact it has had on her work.

Active in Niger since 2016, Studio Kalangou is a daily three-hour radio programme offering news bulletins in five languages (French, Haoussa, Zarma, Tamashek and Fulfuldé), cultural programmes, debates and magazines. Thirty journalists present these different programmes, supported by a network of around fifty correspondents in the country's eight regions. Its broadcasting network includes 52 private and community radio partners, reaching 70% of Niger's population. Studio Kalangou provides them with financial support and capacity-building in journalistic, technical and managerial areas.

A special thanks to Abdoulaya Hama Mahamdou, our colleague who recorded these two testimonies in Niger.
