Why We Are Unique

First Voice International is the only non-profit organization in the world to own 5% of the broadcast capacity of two satellites, AfriStar™ and AsiaStar™, for non-commercial, humanitarian use.

Coverage Area of FVI broadcasts

This gives us a unique ability to transmit audio programs and web-based material – efficiently and effectively – right across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, to literally billions of people in nearly 100 countries even where internet, phones and electricity aren't an option.

Reception is crystal clear and broadcasting is reliable.

There is simply no other way to reach as many people, in such inaccessible places, with the same quality programming, at a lesser cost.

We are offer you a unique communications solution that is:

• Locally driven – Technology in itself is not enough. The developing world is a graveyard of technology projects that went wrong or didn't last. Technology solutions are only appropriate and effective if it's what communities and local partners both want and prioritize, and can also manage. FVI employs staff with a long and successful history of reaching, listening to and collaborating with local partners – to ensure the customized solution we develop meets their specific needs, demands and conditions.
  
  
• Exclusive – We have exclusive access to 5% of the broadcast capacity of two satellites, AfriStar™ and AsiaStar™, for non-commercial, humanitarian use. This gives us an unmatched ability to go beyond the (geographical) limits of existing relief and development programs and give you access to literally billions of people in nearly 100 countries – with news, alerts and best practice information to allow communities to solve many of the problems they face. In a nutshell, we offer you a unique way to disseminate audio and multi-media programs efficiently and effectively across Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
  
  
• Sustainable – We build local capacity to ensure first voices learn the skills they need to broadcast and benefit from audio and multi-media programs.
  
  
• Cost Effective – We can reach the most people, for the least cost. The more people you want to reach, the more cost-effective it becomes.
