  • People With Disabilities Voicing their Concerns through a Radio Program

COFP believes in ability in disability which is the reason why we have continuously sponsored a radio program on Armed Forces Radio, 107.7 FM on the topic: Caring Heart Talk Show. This program is anchored by People Living With Disabilities (PLWDs) with the aim of advancing their rights as well as providing a platform where they can share their experiences/challenges and together find solution to their problem.

The Caring Heart Talk Show which run from May – August 2021 through the financial support from the Foundation produced fourteen (14) episodes with 70% audience growth. The growth was monitored based on calls coming in from outside Abuja. The audience engagement of the radio program was rated 75% based on the number of new callers within the period. The organizer of the above program, Gbenga Adeusi (visually impaired) attested that the Caring Heart Talk Show has given him and his team the opportunity to reach out to more PLWDs, received support from the public and has used this medium to promote peace education within their community.
