About togetherTV

Launched in March 2005 togetherTV gives individuals in the developing world a rarely heard voice.

These personal videos are broadcast both on digital television and on our website. They defy the negative labels too often attached by the western media to people living in developing countries.
TogetherTV is produced by Christian Aid in partnership with the Irish aid agency, Trocaire, and is supported by the European Union's Development Education Fund.
