"For the Tonga people like me, there is something deeply biblical about the word MULONGA, yet it is a modern story too. One of massive but unshared technology. One of plentiful water but perpetual drought."

Dear Mike & Tanja, dear all, Thank you and all parties involved for your note that the relocation of Zongwe FM studio and transmitter has been completed by the end of May: Zongwe FM is broadcasting again with a far wider outreach. Mission accomplished, Congratulations! TWALUMBA!
Your contribution is welcome! Support Zongwe FM community radio station in Sinazongwe to promote communication links within the Tonga community along the shores of Lake Kariba. With your help connection with the Global Village will improve!
Thanks to the commitment of the local community of Sinazongwe and assisted by the Rural District Council a new building for the studios and transmitter of Zongwe FM has been raised on top of a hill above the village and Zambian shores of Lake Kariba. The next step is the relocation of the studios currently hosted by Sinazongwe Basic School and built in 2007 with the help of radio activists from Austria. The new location on the hill promises more space and a greater outreach to provide information and communication links within the Tonga community along the Zambezi Valley.
The goal of this campaign is to raise EURO 6000 until end of April 2019 for another technical assistance mission. The task is to relocate the station and to complement the studio equipment.
Your donation will be appreciated using the bank account of Austria-Zimbabwe Friendship Association at Sparkasse Oberösterreich, Linz / Austria, IBAN AT532032016800007352, BIC ASPKAT2LXXX mentioning „Zongwe FM“. A crowdfunding campaign via the Austrian platform Respekt.net has started already to complement this fundraising spree.
