Some of our Grantees
Powhatan Language Revitalization
The Powhatan or Virginia Algonquian language has been extinct for more than two centuries. A new project is attempting to teach a new generation to read, write, and speak this Native American language, and will explore how citizen media can play a large role in this process.
Karen Border News
The Karen state is cautiously emerging from six decades of civil war, following a ceasefire agreement. To help monitor the situation along the Burmese/Thai border, the Karen Student Network Group will train citizen journalists to use podcasts to help tell the story of these transition period in the region's history.
Aché Djawu (The Aché Word)
Six Aché indigenous communities in Paraguay will use citizen media to tell the stories of their rich culture and reflect back on their difficult past. These digital tools will also allow the six communities to communicate with one another for ongoing support.
