Despite the daunting challenges of obtaining permits and navigating treacherous terrain along the way to Mbinga, Bishop Ndimbo and his team remained steadfast in their mission, aware of the transformative impact it would have on their community.
The station's name, Hekima, means "wisdom" in the local language and was chosen to embody the virtues of benevolence, compassion and enlightenment. In the four years it has been on the air, Radio Hekima has built a reputation as a reliable, timely and innovative station, broadcasting programs on education, environmental awareness, human rights, health, cultural diversity, female empowerment, youth engagement, sports , entertainment and extensive information coverage.
