Summary

ORS FM based south of Arusha in Tanzania is the only radio station broadcasting across the whole region in Maa - the language of the Maasai people - as well as in Swahili. More than 1 million people receive their broadcasts. Since many Maasai cannot understand Swahili or English, ORS FM is the only source of reliable, up-to-date information and news for them. This is particularly critical now for updates & advice on COVID - otherwise unavailable in Maa - as well as all their regular programming.
