Launched in 2004 to respond to evangelization needs in the Western Province, Oblate Radio Liseli (Liseli means light in Silozi) serves the whole Diocese of Mongu that covers an area of 87,293 square kilometers (33,716 square miles).
With a potential to reach close to one million people in the most remote villages throughout the Province, and broadcasting in English and Silozi.
Radio Liseli promotes the development of the Zambian people in all spheres of life: spiritual, developmental (health, education, agriculture, environment, culture, civic, financial), cultural and art, and informational.
As a Catholic Community Radio Station, Oblate Radio Liseli has a good number of religious programs on schedule. These religious programs are either locally produced or syndicated from other radio stations and organizations within or outside Zambia.
Syndicated programs are mainly teachings on the Catholic doctrines and are done in English. The locally produced programs are meant to evangelize the local people. These programs are produced by the local communities themselves and broadcasted in both English and Silozi languages.
Because of these characteristics, and because they portray Zambians evangelizing Zambians, the locally produced programs are better tailored to the local culture and needs and are a more powerful evangelization tools.
