The main aim of the radio station is to empower the marginalized and vulnerable members of the pastoralist communities who are mostly disadvantaged over reading print materials due to their illiteracy. It targets voiceless members in the community who include indigenous pastoralists, people with disabilities, internally displaced persons and other disadvantaged minorities.

The Radio strives to create an effective communication channel to the voiceless members in the community that will be a fitting alternative to print mass media which have closed off majority of the illiterate local community. The radio also seeks to enhance communication and advocacy among the pastoral communities of the county. This would enable them share their development agendas.

The vision of the station is to be the indispensable voice and resource of the people of Wajir County in the building of a prosperous community characterized by peace, harmony and equity. WCR advocates, serves and promotes the interests, welfare and equitable development of the people of Wajir County. The programmes at the radio station include those on sustainable livelihoods, climate change, health, gender and equality, children welfare and rights, Good governance and accountability, environment, livestock market price, among others.
