Children's Radio Foundation

WHY RADIO?

* Radio is easy to learn. Radio requires minimal technical expertise. Young people are able to learn production and broadcast skills quickly.

* Radio is universal in Africa. In 2011, only 6.2% of the continent logged on to the internet. Over 90% of Africans have regular access to radio, making it a crucial source of information.

* Radio is flexible and portable. Radio projects are suited to all settings, even remote, isolated areas where electricity is not readily available.

* Radio projects are inexpensive. In 2011, an operating budget of approximately $620,000USD enabled us to reach millions of youth on the African continent.
