Current status: Radio Maria Burundi is one of the African radio stations that has the widest national coverage. The radio signal covers six dioceses almost entirely and one partially. One more diocese and Radio Maria Burundi will have full coverage in Burundi. The Burundian government has already issued the FM license. Project: The population of the diocese of Ruyigi has been waiting for Radio Maria since 2004, the year of its birth after a long and devastating civil war. Radio Maria Burundi was the first Catholic radio station in this country, welcomed by the faithful as a true gift from Our Lady. All the bishops have always supported the project. World Family of Radio Maria has thus accelerated the expansion of the radio network. Just 40,000 Euros are still needed to buy the equipment and to activate the frequency in the diocese of Ruyigi.
