activities of the Catholic Church in Kenya. Radio Waumini is for all Kenyans and transmits its programmes in both English and Kiswahili, celebrating the rich diversity of contemporary Kenya - affirming all that is life - giving and striving to promote justice [...] During the twenty years of its existence, the radio has brought immense benefits and successes to the Church in the country [...] Through the radio, the listener's faith has been greatly enhanced. There has been awakening of the faith of the Catholic community within the reach of the radio programs. Testimonies of our listeners attest to this. As a result of its programs, the Catholic media network has increased with the launching of sister radio stations in most Catholic dioceses across the country. All these sister radios have had some of their presenters and managers trained at Radio Waumini." (The History of Radio Waumini, page 8)

in electoral institutions and government and the ongoing mistrust between and among different communities. Both mainstream and community media have been criticized for playing destructive roles during post-election violence in Kenya with little focus on any of their constructive roles in the post-conflict period. A key point in this article is that community radio can be used to facilitate peaceful social dialogue and build trust and resilience between and among different communities in Kenya. This is based on the fact that they actually show promising potentials to promote dialogue and better understanding among conflicting communities." (Abstract)
