Jean media has handed over 100 Radios to member of the community in Mtwara, courtesy of Unesco. The radios were given to these people for free  in order to increase listners especially the Targeted group of people which are the women in the rural areas of Mtwara. One woman Remarked that she had never owned her own Radio her entire life!. Another women remarked that she hopes that Radio Mtwara will create different Radio Programs that will be the source of information for women rather then the usual programs they have to listen to on other Radio stations that deal more on youth programs and so on .

One of the Problems in communities of Tanzania is the women do not have a chance to listen to radio programs that may be extremely educational to them because small radios are usually owned by the Husband,the Father or the Brother, so they end up having to listen to programs that are not very benificial to them. This initiative has aimed to change this about our communities by making Women owners of there own Radio so tht they may have access to information that will empower them and educate them more 

During the giving out of these radios Jean media experience some difficulty in ensuring that the majority of the receivers are women. some Husbands insisted on taking Radio's on behalf of there wives. However we established firmly that we wanted most of the Radios to  be received by women themselves. The operation was successful and we are very thankful for everybody's apreciation and cooperation.
