The Voice of West Papua
3CR's Radiothon 2026 is a fundraiser celebrating 50 years of community radio, aiming to raise $300,000 to keep the station strong. It's happening in June, and donations are tax-deducteable. Your support helps produce over 110 programs, train programmers, and maintain transmission technology.
The Voice of West Papua program at 3CR Community Radio needs your help! We've been working tirelessly to raise funds through food sales, bazaars, and merchandise sales, and now we're counting on you.
Catch our Radiothon live on Tuesday, 9 June 2026. Tune in to 855am on the dial or 3CR Digital, or live stream on www.3cr.org.au to pledge and show your support! Every bit helps raising awareness about West Papua's struggles.
