Our Approach
At Mojatu, we strongly believe in the power of community engagement and the role that media can play in fostering positive change. Through our community media initiatives, we aim to magnify diverse voices, empower communities, and promote social cohesion.
Similarly, to the way that we raise awareness, we combine a variety of strategies to create a platform for community members to express themselves, share their stories, and participate in meaningful dialogue.
Through:
Community Storytelling: We believe that everyone has a unique story to tell. Through community events, we empower individuals to retell stories that capture local narratives, experiences, and challenges. By amplifying these voices, we promote understanding, empathy, and a sense of community ownership.
Digital Media and Online Platforms: We leverage digital media and online platforms to reach wider audiences and connect communities beyond geographical boundaries. Our website, social media channels, and interactive platforms provide spaces for community members to engage, share ideas, and discuss important issues.
Training: We recognise the importance of literacy and equip community members with the necessary skills. Through workshops and training sessions, we empower individuals to complete courses that are beneficial not only for them, but for society’s benefit.
Collaborative Partnerships: We actively collaborate with local organisations, community leaders, and media outlets to amplify our impact. By forging partnerships, we create a collective force that strengthens community media and engagement initiatives, leading to a more inclusive and participatory society.
Our Impact

Communities are actively participating in decision-making processes and shaping their own narratives.
Improved Social Cohesion: We have witnessed divides being bridged, by promoting dialogue and understanding, we have witnessed increased empathy and collaboration among diverse community groups.
