Rafiki Wema (RW) strengthens London communities (individuals and organisations) to create positive change through media literacy and services. We provide access to resources and opportunities to enhance social equality and ensure greater social benefit.
Through our multimedia products, we reach a diverse audience and readers across London and beyond.
Our media products prove to be a game changer in the areas of community journalism, media literacy and digital inclusions. We bring media down to communities to cover and discuss issues that impact their lives, and provide fair coverage and news analysis.
We work with Ethiopian, Eritrean, Kenyan, Somali and Sudanese and other multiple African and migrant communities all over London.
We have developed Digital Ambassadors for 9 communities and provide training, internet and mobile credit, loan equipment and ICT suite for communities.
We reach over 20,000 readers and listeners monthly with our multiple media products including web, magazine, radio, newsletters, and social media.
