Campaign Story
Its all about expression. The Kingdom of Swaziland, is a beautiful and peaceful country situated in southern Africa, which has an arts and culture scene with loads of potential, but is shackled by the lack of legislative support and services which would enable it to become lucrative enough to create employment solutions for a majority of the youth, who are increasingly looking to the creative arts as both a form of expression and source of income.The only TV and Radio stations are state-run, and poorly. They do not pay royalties to local artists, do not fund projects and exploit artists using the 'giving you exposure' line. Worst of all, commercial, live-on air, TV and radio stations aren't permitted to get a license to operate and get FM etc. frequency, they've sat on the bill for decades.
Thanks to the internet, we can do everything we want, online. People are free to access the net and data is getting cheaper by the day due to competition and we just need licensing to trade as a media company, as we will sell advertising space in order to generate money to pay royalties for all the content, a first of its kind in the Kingdom.This station will be the missing link to help kickstart a whole industry and hopefully the snowball effect will help create opportunities for a youth, who's options aren't a lot.

We need funding to go towards; site hosting fees, equipment, fittings/furnishing and marketing.
