The radio station continues to increase its audience with listener numbers being over 1 million. The station provides information on a variety of topics such as health, news, social behavior, human rights, women’s issues and poetry. Most recently they broadcast the Afghanistan/India football match which many listened to who were without power for TV reception. The station is creating change in people’s lives. Here is the story of one listener who lives in the 5th district of Herat and called Meraj Radio. She said, “I have a wealthy family so my parents did not allow me to be friends with poor girls and as they said that these poor people are not comparable with me. I was tired of this situation as I was losing my friends until Meraj Radio discussed this issue. They said this action is not good action so now my family allows me to be friends with poor girls as well and it is all because of Meraj Radio. Thank you so much”.
Thank you for your support.
