Together with the Somali radio station Radio Ergo, Refugees United commences radio campaign, targeting the many Somalis who have lost contact with family and friends during the war. Radio Ergo is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and produces humanitarian news for the Somali-speaking region, much of which is life-saving information for Somali families. 
As part of the radio campaign, Radio Ergo will broadcast short radio spots for families who have lost contact with missing loved ones. The aim is to reach out to families in war-torn Somalia and let them know that they can search for family via www.refunite.org. Furthermore, a live Sunday program will be dedicated to Refugees United and the issue of family tracing, where listeners will be able to call the show live and ask questions. One of the spots will feature Fahiya (see picture, far left), a Refugees United volunteer who was separated from her mother several years ago. She continues to search for her mother, while also helping to reconnect other families separated by war. We look forward to reaching many more Somali families with this radio campaign.
