Since we first launched the Lifeline radio in 2003 in Rwanda, more than
16,000 have been distributed mainly to child and widow-headed households.
We are delighted that going forward, we will be distributing our new
enhanced Prime solar and wind-up radio.
In addition to providing child-only families with Prime radios enabling
them to gain access to a wide range of programming, we are also
distributing them to under-resourced schools. In the near future, English
learning programmes for teachers and students will be broadcast. English
has been made an official language of Rwanda and everyone is keen to learn
it. Radios in classrooms also enable large numbers of children to listen
to other helpful programmes about health, farming and environmental
issues. Rwanda has the strictest environmental laws in Africa.
