Fostering shared values for a brighter future.
Supporting communities to promote peace, justice, and good governance.
In 1997, after Liberia’s devastating civil war, our team established the radio production house Talking Drum Studio with the audacious goal of sowing the seeds of post-war recovery through innovative radio programming.
For more than two decades, we have been creating dramas, news programs, talk shows, and soap operas spreading messages of peace, unity, and reconciliation.
Radio Programming
While providing a platform for the voices and opinions of all, our radio programs share information on important issues such as land reform, women's empowerment, governance, and education. To this day, Talking Drum Studio is the nationally recognized institution that bridges the gap between essential information and everyday Liberians.
Participatory Theater
Talking Drum Studio’s participatory theater is also a hallmark of the studio’s work, garnering thousands of people to watch the performances and participate in dialogue. This form of theater combines education, entertainment, and culture to spark conversations on themes such as non-violence, education, women's empowerment, and justice.
“The messages sent by Talking Drum Studio encourage people not to give in to violence, to be tolerant, to approach grievances differently, or to try to resolve them in mutual respect. [...] I think that is essential. This is what has allowed us to have peace for 15 consecutive years.”
— Former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
