it offers them a moment of truce to dance, to sing, to smile until they fall asleep soundly.

Radio-Dodo is available in French, English and Arabic and is broadcasted in Canada via CHOQ.ca, Mali via Djekafo, Cameroon via ABK Radio and in Syria and Turkey. Thus, everyone can choose to listen to an episode in their preferred language. With this, we are certain to reach the greatest number of children, regardless of country and language.

Radio-Dodo aims to become the first international radio organization dedicated to children in difficulty and offer those children the opportunity to participate in the show by telling stories, reports or anecdotes. It will be a virtual platform just for them.

Mission of Radio-Dodo

Our organization is aimed at hero children facing health challenges or that are in difficulty, children that are victims of brutality or wars and children that are refugees from marginalized communities, who badly need words of love and comfort to fall asleep.

Radio-Dodo in short

Radio-Dodo is neutral and aimed at children in difficulty. More specifically intended for ages 3 to 12, an episode in French, English and Arabic is devoted to them every Sunday, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Radio-Dodo’s very first episode went on the air on January 1, 2017. To allow those in need to take full advantage of Radio-Dodo, in 2017, small radios and blankets were distributed to refugee children.

Lac Simon Mission

The magic of radio is “that the waves cross borders” said Brigitte Alepin, co-founder of Radio-Dodo during an interview with Obs.

 Gaziantep Mission

Radio-Dodo went to Gaziantep from May 27 to 30, 2017 to distribute radios and blankets to Syrian orphans.
