Abstract
This document provides the script from a pilot project to capture the voice of orphans and vulnerable children through radio programming in Monkey Bay, Malawi, with the ultimate goal of promoting and protecting their health. EQUINET worked with a local community-based organization (CBO) and former commercial sex workers to produce a community radio drama by and for vulnerable children who are sexually abused and or lured into sex work. EQUINET has built a forum for sharing knowledge and forging strategic alliances to influence policy and practice towards health equity and social justice. See http://www.equinetafrica.org/
