The overall purpose of Radio Waumini is to promote peace, justice, and understanding for the integral development of Kenyan society. It is committed to achieving the following goals:

• To disseminate through the electronic mass media, programmes of social justice information that look at contemporary problems and issues, with the view of offering solutions, alternatives, and a deeper understanding from a social justice perspective. Subject areas could include single parenthood, HIV/AIDS, the environment, the economy, the arts, education and so on.

• To inform the public of current events – through news and current affairs programmes – so that they can keep up to date and take action.

• To offer news and features coming from the parishes, the KEC, and Catholic organizations, faith groups of different convictions, NGOs, and in general all genuine representatives of the civil society.

• To enable groups interested in peace and social justice to rent our facilities for training and preparing their own material.

• To encourage production of art (painting, video, music) that is uplifting and inspirational.

• To offer special programs and activities for youth, with subjects and styles that they can relate to.

• To provide training to all bona fide groups and associations (including dioceses, parishes, Catholic communities) wanting to express themselves in the mass media arena.
