Three years after South Sudan declared its dependence from Sudan (2010), tribal conflict broke out and many fled to nearby countries for safety (2013).

Some fled into Uganda’s Adjumani refugee camp at which time western support was gathered from concerned NGO’s so a radio station might be created to promote peaceful existence under direction of the Office of the Prime Minister. Supporting NGO’s provided loaned equipment as well as Christian programming, to facilitate biblical peace and reconciliation among the tribes who began to settle in Adjumani.

As refugees continued to fill Adjumani, camps were added the Usalama FM 99.7 radio station likewise expanded to meet the growing population.

Today, the popular radio station reaches all refugees within the Adjumani, Bidi Bidi, Rhino, Lamow and Moyo camps, as well as the many host communities. All refugees receive health, education and spiritual programming.

Upon receiving its NGO registration, DMUL brought indigenous support to the project, including programming, finances, equipment (repair/replacement) and solar powered radios, custom created and donated for the specific need at hand. DMUL teams distribute these donated solar radios that are also equipped with audio bibles in various tribal languages as well as programming that can be enjoyed when radio shuts down at night.
