Plan Malawi’s former Radio project now Timveni Child and Youth Media Organization, has been awarded a licence by the government of Malawi to run its own child focused TV station.
Timveni will be the first child-run and child focused fully fledged TV station in Plan globally operating, alongside the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation.
Out of the 16 media companies that applied for licenses, Timveni was among the 7 that have been issued with the permit.
In 2006, Plan Malawi piloted Timveni ‘Hear Us Out’ child media project in response to article 12 of the Child Rights Convention which gives an opportunity to children to voice out issues affecting their daily lives and to realize their full potential through its radio and outreach programs.
In 2011, it was spunned off as an independent organization while receiving funding from Plan Malawi and Plan Sweden.
