We are overjoyed and excited to achieve this landmark of 20 years at Mama FM and Uganda Media Women’s Association as the establishing body. What a milestone this is! These many years have come with empowering women and laying platform for the voiceless and their issues excluded from the mainstream media. The community development women focused station has nurtured women, youth and wider community through its programs, capacity building trainings and availing airtime. What more can the women platform humble to but a THANK YOU to all development partners, its listeners, volunteers and the diverse well wishing family.
Executive Director’s Congratulatory Message
Twenty years ago, we set out to be a platform for the voiceless women. But along the way, the women focused radio, Mama FM attracted another big constituency, Persons Living with Disability. In fact in 2017, Mama FM was best known as a Station for Persons Living with Disabilities. Why? Because it is the only media house in Uganda that continues to be an international space to serve the least privileged in our society. As we mark the 20th year, we can only appreciate those individuals and organizations who have supported us in this journey. But also to implore the Government of Uganda to give a helping hand to initiatives, like Mama FM. The government can start by subsidizing on the works of such organizations for example waive the frequency/license-Margaret Sentamu
