Case study Plan and Nokia: Giving African children a voice

From radio shows to child helplines, watch the video to see how Plan's partnership with Nokia is helping children across Africa to speak out on child rights and bring about change.

Although there are 2 billion people under the age of 18 in the world they often have few opportunities to express themselves. Plan operates child media programmes in more than 30 countries worldwide to help children speak out on issues that matter to them using various mediums - such as radio, music and video.

The programmes give children the opportunity to gain self-confidence, make their voice heard and drive change in their community.

Nokia partnership gives parenting advice on the go

A new service in Kenya provides advice and information to parents using innovative mobile technology.

The Nokia Life service gives mobile users the chance to sign up for regular messages on a huge range of subjects including business skills, health and education. The parenting information has been developed by Plan and supports mothers and fathers with their children’s physical, emotional and social development.

The messages are offered through local mobile platforms in both English and Swahili, with rich media content that doesn’t require the user to sign up to an expensive data plan. The service is available free of charge for an initial 30-day period, with the option to continue to subscribe at a low monthly rate.
