Lifeline Energy World Radio Day Child holding Lifeline 
The first World Radio Day is 13 February

Announced by UNESCO, World Radio Day will celebrate how radio positively impacts millions of lives everyday. Although more than 100 years old, radio remains the most popular medium for information, education and social change. Notably, radio can change lives when new voices bring fresh perspective on air and it represents a focal point for community life, accessible even in isolated locations.
