Dr. Yacoobi’s radio station, Radio Meraj, continues to provide quality programs, with the purpose of enlightening the minds of the 2 million people in its broadcast area of Herat. Listeners gain information and answers to their problems as well as directions on how to seek assistance with issues they face in their communities.
Lawyers from the free AIL Legal Clinic appear on the radio weekly to educate listeners and take their legal questions. There are also appearances by a variety of guests such as the Governor of Herat, members of the Peace Council, the First Lady of Afghanistan and representatives from various Afghan ministries and organizations.
Radio Meraj continues to be a service dedicated to aiding Afghans to take a greater role in society and advocate for themselves in their communities. Here is the story of a Meraj listener: Elyas said, "Once there was a bird seller who was involved in the illegal business of birds. He captured rare bird species in Afghanistan and exported them abroad. I called Radio Meraj and explained the situation to your guest speaker from the police department. Then the environmental administration section launched an operation to free the captured birds and closed down the bird store legally. Your follow up procedures worked! Thank you Meraj radio for your excellent programs."
Thank you for your continued interest.
