Skills Village Radio is an online radio show hosted by people with disabilities for people with disabilities. While disability-related content is often included in mainstream media as a feature, Skills Village Radio centres disability.
It aims to provide people with disabilities, and the wider disability community, a platform to advocate, educate and share their stories. The ultimate goal is to create a more inclusive society. While based in Soweto, they broadcast nationally through their website.
Skills Village Radio has also partnered with QASA to provide the organisation with a weekly platform to discuss its programmes and services, as well as advocate, education and share the stories of its members. You can tune into the Health and Wellness show with Princess Sibanda every Tuesday from 10 AM to catch the interview with QASA.
You can reach out to Skills Village Radio on e-mail at info@skillsvillageradio.co.za, phone 064 504 0411 or visit their website at www.skillsvillageradio.co.za.
If you missed an episode with QASA, you can catch all the interviews on the Skills Village Radio Youtube channel, which you can find here.
