Itch FM – Dedicated to Hip Hop
Itch FM is very proud to announce that a percentage of all our T-Shirt sales will go to the WAYout Foundation, that was founded by Michael Chandler aka DJ Furious, formerly of Itch FM.
The WAYout Foundation changes the lives of street, vulnerable and conflict affected young people through the Arts in Sierra Leone.
They offer training and shelter, make films that can effect change and record music that enables the excluded to re-engage. The Foundation promotes artistic freedom, education and empowerment.
WAYout has its own hub in Sierra Leone, including a fully equipped music studio, film editing room and training room that has had over 660 homeless street kids come through the door.
They’ve helped quite a few of these young individuals get off the streets and into jobs.
The Foundation has also been helping people to reconnect with their families, plus nearly 200 getting WAYout qualifications as well.
Check out one of WAYout’s music video productions..

This is what some of these gifted individuals had to say about WAYout:
“WAYout brought me from the dark into the light so I can see the future”.
“If I hadn’t come to WAYout, my life would be lost”
“People were afraid of us, now they come and sit with us”.
To all of the Itch FM family, extended family and supporters of the station. Please support this movement and purchase a T-Shirt by Clicking Here.

From the whole Itch Family, One Luv!!
