World Cup in my Village is a project of UNICEF, the Children’s Radio Foundation, and community partners. Using audio recorders, cameras, and flip video cameras, young people in Mongu, Zambia and Rubavu District in Rwanda have been given the tools and the skills to tell their own stories. The project gives them the opportunity to report on pressing issues affecting young people in their communities, including education, HIV/AIDS and health, poverty alleviation, gender relations, climate change and the environment, among others.

Their audio reports will be broadcast on local, national, and international radio stations, and additional media content will be posted on the Children’s Radio Foundation’s website and disseminated via other social media platforms.

In addition to media trainings, World Cup in My Village provides access to the World Cup matches to youth in areas of Zambia and Rwanda where there is little to no electricity or broadcasting service. Large open-air screens and projectors have been set-up and the matches will be screened from 11 June to 11 July. In addition to the football matches, special public service announcements produced by UNICEF and partners will provide the audience—largely cut off from mainstream sources of information—with information about education, health and child protection.
