Radio Kwizera is Catholic Radio with its main station in Ngara - Western Tanzania.

The radio was established by Jesuit Refugee Service International in 1995 after the genocide in Rwanda and the civil wars in Burundi and Congo DRC.

The vision of the radio was to help in accompanying the refugees in their struggle and to advocate their rights.  

Radio Kwizera has one main station and two other sub-stations. The main station in Ngara covers 300km sqs. The one in Kibondo covers about 100 Km sqs, while that in Kasulu covers the same length as the one at Ngara.

In the local region, the radio has the historical reputation of addressing the issues concerning refugees. The total coverage area of Radio Kwizera is about 700km sq though with some pockets of signal leakage in between locations.

The level of the coverage area depends on the height of the mast and the power of the transmitter. The transmitters for Ngara and Kasulu have the same power, i.e. 2000WA (2KWA), and the one for Kibondo is 500WA. New modalities are underway to increase the power of Ngara station so that more stations can be covered.
