The public education outreach via radio broadcast took effect in October 2019 on KNUST campus radio station Focus FM after securing their favour and inciting their interest in the project we wanted to undertake using their popular platform as a means of achieving that goal-- to impact society through awareness creation on disability issues; a topic very much in line with their mission and vision as a media house.

The Strength in Disability program on Focus FM took place live on air every Thursday from 12:30pm to 1:00pm.

Our listeners, most of whom were students and members of the surrounding communities called in to comment positively on the program and also contribute their quota, when the phone lines were opened.

Our resource persons included some members of the Media Department of the organization and members of other departments. 

The president of the organisation, Mr Frederick Osei worked hand in hand with the Media Department head, Beatrice Ohemaah, to develop relevant questions, select and prepare some members of the organisation as resource persons for the program.

Topics that were discussed in-depth on the program within the given time frame included: About Strength in Disability Organisation, Stigmatisation, Social Protection, Language Barrier, Accessibility, and Inclusive Education.

The program was always recorded by the host to be broadcast in future.
