Field support in Afghanistan

The World

The subject of today’s Global Hit is music with a message. Simple messages really. They’re sung by Malian musician Khaira Arby. One message is about her love for the city Timbuktu. That’s reflected in the album title �Timbuktu Tarab.’ The other message Khaira Arby wants to convery is women’s rights.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
