Founded in 2002 and SECP registered, The Communicators (Private) Limited — operating as POWER99 — is Pakistan’s most experienced development communication and radio education organisation.
Power99 is not a typical radio station. It is a development communication institution that operates broadcast infrastructure. Every studio, every frequency, every programme is oriented toward one purpose: using the power of media to educate, inform, and improve lives across Pakistan.
We have partnered with UNESCO, UNICEF, CARE International, IOM, DW Akademie, the German Federal Foreign Ministry, USAID, and the Government of Pakistan — repeat partnerships built on documented results.
An informed, educated, and empowered Pakistan — where every community has access to quality information, every child has access to education, and every voice has the opportunity to be heard.
To use the power of broadcast media, community communication, and participatory journalism to deliver measurable development outcomes — in education, public health, climate resilience, and civic engagement — across Pakistan’s most underserved communities.
Evidence over assertion. Community voice before institutional voice. Measured outcomes before claimed impact. Repeat partnerships built on documented trust. Children first — always.
