Amani Fm has joined forces with another community station to promote peace. The project, Amani mashinani which is on Swahili means peace at the grassroots. It involves young people in the design and creation of feature stories and talk shows that promote peace, using the airwaves of Amani Fm in Garsen and TBS (Tana Broadcasting Service), in Hola.

Besides creative radio content, many on the ground activities involving youth are being planned around the district to encourage awareness of how conflict happens and how it can be resolved.

This initiative follows concerns that terrorist group such as Al-shabab have been trying to recruit vulnerable, unemployed young people in the eastern areas of the country, near the border with Somalia.
