“I’m delighted with everything One World Media has done for me. This project has become bigger than I could have imagined and provided me with a really solid entry point into the industry. If OWM hadn’t taken the chance and provided me with the grant, none of it would have happened.”
We are committed to supporting strong, vibrant and independent media coverage from developing countries.
“I have been absolutely blown away by all the incredible ideas, by the passion, by the enthusiasm, by the level of detail and care and attention that’s been put into each of these projects. It’s been very exciting to see all of this young talent out there that’s waiting to share their stories with the world.”
