Mangrove Radio

Mangrove Radio began in 2004
as a tool for the communities of El Salvador's Bajo Lempa to voice their needs and concerns and communicate the good news of the development projects happening throughout the region.

Thanks to generous donor support, the communities of El Salvador's Bajo Lempa have an alternative to the negative news from other media and their own, local voice.
