Young People in the Media Organisation, The Gambia recently entered into a smart partnership agreement with radijojo, World Children’s Radio Network based in Berlin, Germany. Radijojo is the first ever global children radio initiatives.

The partnership agreement is aimed at producing a multilateral radio show on water and sanitation situations in The Gambia. It will enable children of the various countries to tell kids worldwide about water situation in their respective countries.

According to Gese Rindermann of Radijojo in Berlin, the multilateral radio show project is indeed timely and crucial since water and environment are important topics for the future.

He noted that the project will also enable children in the participating countries to share and express their taught with  other children worldwide on water situation in their countries and what they are doing in ensuring potable drinking water is accessible to all.

He said, the goal of the project is to have a radio show that show and compare the topic - water in various countries made by children and for children in a fascinating, interesting and informative way.

Abdou Jatta, President of Young People in the Media The Gambia, express optimism in the project describing it as laudable one since the Gambia is the only African country chosen to take part.

He said it will really give boost to young people and children in The Gambia to tell kids worldwide about water situation in the country.

Jatta noted that hopefully the project will have an initial pilot character if all goes according to plan. He added that the outcome of the multilateral radio show will be available to schools, communities and other educational institutions in the four countries namely Berlin, Greenland, Bolivia and the Gambia.
