Radio Meraj’s popularity continues to increase and the station is now part of the lives of many of the inhabitants of Herat and it’s environs. Every morning, a varied group of people contact the station from all walks of life. For example, Meraj receives calls from students, doctors of clinics, workers, taxi drivers and farmers. Below is the story of how the Morning Messenger Program positively impacted the livelihood of one farmer.
Abdul, the Ghorain Districtof Herat said, "I always had problems with growing different products in my field. Although I had enough land and water, every year I did not get satisfactory results from my wheat land. One day, I heard an advertisement from the Agriculture Department about saffron on your Morning Messenger Program. The expert spoke about the benefits of saffron harvesting. Therefore, I became motivated to grow saffron on my land. I went to Herat and the Agriculture Department and bought saffron for my land to plant there. I hope to get a considerable profit from my land. I thank you for your help and guidance."
Thank you for your continued interest in the power of radio!
