PNTV AFRICA

PNTV Africa is the voice of Kenyas frontier counties; Mandera, Marsabit, Turkana, Garissa, Wajir, Isiolo, Tana River, Samburu, West Pokot, and Lamu, delivering stories of unity, development, and cultural richness in local languages such as Somali, Borana, Rendille, Turkana, Pokot, and more.

Telling Our Stories, Our Way

PNTV Africa is a dynamic storytelling hub documenting and sharing powerful stories of development, humanitarian impact, and cultural resilience from pastoralist and underrepresented regions in Kenya and the Horn of Africa. We helped build a platform that spotlights real people and real progress—shifting narratives from neglect and conflict to hope, transformation, and dignity through visual storytelling, in-depth reporting, and community-centered content.
