Ｍany foreign citizens suffered as a result of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Soon after the earthquake hit, the Radio FMYY was developed. FMYY was established by the various abilities of citizens from Kobe City's Nagata Ward as a tool to provide multi-lingual disaster information and to be a forum for community activities. FMYY broadcasts in 10 different languages to the local community and is one of many NGOs that joined together in a single community structure named Takatori Community Center.

　FMYY acts as a bridge between the minority communities and the non-minority elite. Local non-minority elites (such as local politicians) listen to FMYY. Thus, we work as an agent for the voices of the minority community to be heard by those in political power. Our values ensure that we provide information for the local community rather than entertainment. Furthermore, we uphold our citizen-based approach to represent foreigners, activists, minorities and people with disabilities.
