Ladies Receive Polaris Radios to Support Listening of Educational Radio Broadcasts
Develop Africa Sierra Leone is in the business of creating impact in the lives of the young pregnant ladies in this nation. The program has created awareness in the lives of these pregnant ladies that it is an opportunity that they need to grab to stay relevant in society. On August, 31st we distributed 49 radios to girls in our Educational Lifeline Program - at our Creating Pathways Centre. These girls have been consistent: punctual, attended regularly and had taken all the assessment tests. With these radios the ladies will be able to listen to educational radio broadcasts by the Ministry of Education.
The Polaris, solar-powered radios were provided in partnership with Lifeline Energy.
