History
Radio La Benevolencija Humanitarian Tools Foundation (Radio La Benevolencija) takes as its role model La Benevolencija Sarajevo, a local organization that played a unique humanitarian role during the Bosnian war (1992-1995). It is as a result of founding Director George Weiss’ work for this organization, that a group of Amsterdam-based Media professionals was inspired in 2002 to set up an organisation to produce media projects in La Benevolencija’s unique spirit of solidarity with- and empowerment of people that are the targets of Hate violence.
