Twerwaneho Listeners’ Club (TLC)

Twerwaneho Listeners’ Club (TLC, which means “let’s struggle for ourselves”) is a local civic club that brings together human rights activists. In 2006, local human rights activists started a radio talk show called “Twerwaneho”, encouraging people to debate governance and rights issues. Today, TLC focuses on the safety and security of the grassroots human rights defenders (Physical and digital security), catalyzing the formation of grassroots activists and enhancing the capacity of existing and new ones.
