About us
In a world where media can be divisive and untrustworthy, we believe in the power of media and communication to do good. Our work reaches millions of people facing insecurity, inequality and poverty with information they can trust. We support the independent media essential to democracy and development. And we inform, connect and inspire change in our audiences, providing trusted information, stories and ideas that generate debate and discussion and bridge divides. We reach more than 100 million people a year – helping to save lives and improve health, protect livelihoods, challenge inequality and build more peaceful and democratic societies. BBC Media Action is not funded by the BBC Licence Fee, and instead relies on the generous support of our donors.

“I see myself now as a good man. It was me who delayed myself.” Listen to ex-child soldier Kululu’s letter to his sons about the “power of education” - and how he now uses his life experiences for good. He’s creating positive change through storytelling to help kids be kids for our Life in Lulu radio drama in South Sudan. Experts estimate that in February 2021, there were between 7,000 and 19,000 child soldiers in the country – and children are still being recruited to fight. Our research reflects the need for this type of radio programme, demonstrating how Life in Lulu works and why it is so powerful. Our next series of Life in Lulu is tackling gender-based and intimate partner violence, modelling solutions and alternatives to help create gender equality for women and girls.

We’re still buzzing from last night’s fantastic The BBC Correspondents’ Charity Dinner! Hosted by the one and only Sandi Toksvig and featuring the wonderful Naga Munchetty, Lucy Hockings and Clive Myrie as speakers, our guests enjoyed meeting some of the best and brightest from across the BBC, while supporting our critical work with media and storytelling that changes lives for the better. Thank you to all who have supported us – we aren’t funded by the UK TV Licence Fee, and we couldn’t do it without you. A special thank you to The Langham London for their sponsorship of the evening.

“You are forced to carry a gun to defend yourself.” Kululu was a child soldier but now uses his first-hand experience to help kids be kids by creating positive change through storytelling for our Life in Lulu radio drama in South Sudan. Experts estimate that in February 2021, there were between 7,000 and 19,000 child soldiers in the country – and children are still being recruited to fight. Life in Lulu storylines highlight these and other social challenges in the country, including the impact of dangerous power dynamics and sexual and gender-based violence. Our next series focuses on gender-based and intimate partner violence, modelling different solutions and alternatives to help create gender equality for women and girls.

Kululu was a child soldier but now uses his first-hand experience to help his community bridge divides and help kids be kids by creating positive change through storytelling for our Life in Lulu radio drama in South Sudan. This storyline remains relevant as the region still faces localised conflict, intercommunal violence, and a growing humanitarian crisis from the war in neighbouring Sudan.
