Awaz
From Nairobi to Kabul, to the streets of your own city, the Awaz Podcast brings you bold, human stories that inspire change—because conflict isn’t just something that happens on the news, it’s personal. At Awaz, we're going beyond the headlines, beyond the doom and gloom, and diving into the stories of real people—people who are turning pain and adversity into something powerful. We’re talking to the changemakers—the activists, artists, community leaders—who are making waves on the ground, often quietly, but with huge impact. And we’ll be doing it in a way that’s real, human, and maybe even a little fun.
