While radio is everywhere and many people have radios, others in extreme poverty do not have any means to purchase a radio or even to purchase the batteries if they do own a radio. Our Technology Centre has utilised a strategic innovation – the fixed-tuned radio. This small radio is solar powered and can be preset to the local Christian radio station. This means that as they are distributed, these fix-tuned radios can be one of the tools God uses to bring His Word into the homes of millions.
Families in Tanzania, Burundi, Malawi and South Africa have been known to travel dozens of miles on foot to obtain one of these sets. “The people are crying for radios,” one South African woman told a local station manager.
