At Audiopedia, we sought a practical solution to these challenges through our project in Southeastern Nigeria. Utilizing localized audio content distributed via WhatsApp and memory cards, we effectively narrowed the knowledge gap, proving the potential of audio-based narrowcasting.

Access to clean, reliable water is a fundamental human right—yet for millions of people living in Sub-Saharan Africa, this right is increasingly under threat. Climate change is intensifying droughts, disrupting rainfall patterns, and exacerbating water scarcity. In many communities, the responsibility for fetching water and managing household resources falls on women, who must grapple with these changing conditions on a daily basis.

Audiopedia would be nothing without its volunteers. We would like to introduce you to some of them with our "Volunteer Stories". This one is about Lucy from Nigeria.

We're delighted to delve into the Audiopedia App, a key component of our collaboration with the GIZ’s FATA Development Programme. This initiative has been operational for a while, focusing on fortifying local governance and fostering community participation in the Merged Areas of Pakistan.
